PCOS, or the Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, affects millions of women all over the world every year. It was during the 18th century when this was first discovered. Until the mid 1930s, when Irving Stein and Michael Leventhal conducted studies that made us understand more about the condition, treatments for PCOS were, at best, primitive. Their immense contributions to learning more about the illness led to the coining of Stein-Leventhal Syndrome for the illness. Basically, the Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome involves the growth of cysts in the ovaries of women. The condition has other names that will be used to describe the particular level and type of complication of the syndrome. It is possible that the syndrome is besetting a woman if she has noticed skips in her menstrual periods and enlargement of her polycystic ovaries.
Abnormal growth of ovarian cysts is something that happens to a lot of women. They could differ, however, in the intensity of these growths. The same is evident with the other complications that will arise once the syndrome starts. Women will mostly have the same symptoms, although there are others who may manifest more symptoms than the rest. Others could be experiencing irregular menstrual cycles and acne breakouts, while others could have symptoms that include changes in hair and skin pigmentation as well as oily skin. One would think that with such symptoms, evident facts show the cause of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. However, much research is still being conducted to back up that claim. Irregular menstrual cycles, irregular insulin resistance, and irregular spikes in the body's androgen levels have already been known to cause this syndrome.
Anyone who has PCOS will also experience a number of complications because of it. As a result, the treatment of this condition has been made to concentrate of various things, not only on one. Since the ovarian cysts are the growths involved, one possible complication that is most dreaded by people is infertility. This would require a special form of surgery to be performed. This syndrome could also bring about heart complications, and the person could also suffer from high blood pressure. During treatment, these complications should be assessed and evaluated. The doctors would also consider skin problems associated with the syndrome as well as cancer. PCOS, in and of itself, is not harmful; however, the complications, if left unheeded, could very well lead to worse problems and even death.
Preventive measures have been referred to as our best defense against diseases. Still, there are certain diseases that are so persistent that no amount of preventive measures would keep them from getting to us. One such illness is PCOS. After all, we could not really pinpoint any solid evidence as to the cause of the illness affecting a woman.
However, you can probably make some deductions and draw conclusions as to the possible causes of PCOS if you observe the lifestyle of women nowadays. Endometrium cancer is also a possibility, despite the most stringent preventive measures taken. You can prevent this from escalating further by adapting some positive changes to your lifestyle and by eating right. In the spirit of lifestyle changes and, in the process, treating PCOS, a women would also be able to address issues on heart disease, obesity, diabetes, blood pressure problems and weight problems.
