Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and type II diabetes

PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) is a hormonal imbalance that occurs between women, and often can be confused with something else. Women who have high testosterone and high levels of circulating insulin. Without the diagnosis, the risk of infertile women PCOS, weight gain and persistent, if left untreated for a long period of time, type II diabetes.

It is estimated that over 50% of women with PCOS contract without treating diabetes type II before his fortieth birthday. Women with PCOS have a five to seven times greater incidence of heart attacks than women of childbearing age without the condition. PCOS represents a significant danger to women and should be diagnosed and treated promptly.

What causes PCOS? In other words, represents the SOP multiple cysts in the ovaries. The cysts are follicles that should be the production of oocytes (eggs) for playback. Because of the increased hormone levels of men, these follicles are not mature, and instead remain as cysts in the ovaries. Since the follicles do not mature ovaries not to take within the framework of progesterone and are less likely to have their rules. With less estrogen and progesterone, testosterone secretions from a woman stood up and the results of PCOS.

These cysts are a source of testosterone, which prevent the level of a natural estrogen for women and cause other problems. These problems may include excessive facial hair, obesity and a decrease in the number of periods. Although levels of all women secrete male hormones, women-SOP are affected to a much greater that stimulates other symptoms. Other symptoms may include:

Acne
high cholesterol
High blood pressure
The thinning hair or pattern baldness male

In more severe cases, patches of brown spots on the elbows, chest, knees and other parts of the body (Note: These are also symptoms of type II diabetes

In examining the symptoms, it is clear that many women with PCOS have an increased risk of heart and other cardiovascular diseases. Of all symptoms, rates of persistent high insulin may be more harmful to the health of a woman. This symptom causes constriction of blood vessels and may lead to diabetes mellitus in some cases, if left untreated.

How can we treat PCOS? There is no perfect treatment. If all women should be treated differently. Women with severe symptoms should be given steroids to reduce the acute problems. In the longer term, many women receive one or more of the following:

Birth control drugs, to regulate their periods and compensate for the increased production of male hormones

The fight against diabetes, including Glucophage and Avastin, to reduce the effects of higher levels of insulin is released into the blood.

fertility drugs, both to stimulate production normal female hormones and, in the case of infertility, pregnancy boost. The two medicines most commonly prescribed Clomid Clomid and mettformin if not enough.

In the case of reduced production pituitary gonadotropins are administered.

The anti-androgens, such as Minoxidil (topical) are given to counter the influence of male hormones on hair loss. Its second effect is to reduce the overall effect of male hormones in the female body.

If these drugs are not enough, a woman with PCOS may surgery to reduce the number of cysts in the ovaries. For cyst perforation, the surgeon can reduce the amount of male hormones and the insulin secreted by the ovary and improve the relative performance of estrogen and progesterone. Despite all surgery is potentially hazardous (especially in obese patients) is a relatively noninvasive procedure that can be performed using laparoscopic tools.

An estimated five to ten per cent of women have PCOS. Women with family history, obesity, PCOS can recruit more.
