Polycystic
ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD) sufferers
experience multiple cysts in their ovaries. Over 15% of women, worldwide,
are victims of PCOS irrespective of race or color. One of the most common causes of infertility, the symptoms may include
various menstrual problems, hirsutism (excessive body or facial hair),
endocrine abnormalities, acne, obesity, diabetes with insulin resistance or
hyperinsulinemia. PCOS has many long-term effects like endometrial or
breast cancer, diabetes, miscarriage, obesity
and heart disease, so getting timely help is crucial. Every symptom may
not tell the tale for all patients. In fact some people are not overweight;
this can cause complexities when doctors are not inclined to refer for
investigations if the patient does not fit all the categories. An ultrasound
scan is the safest bet; it shows that sufferers have changes in the ovaries
which cause multiple small cysts to occur without ovulation. The cysts are
arranged around the outside of the ovary, just under the surface and have not
been able to rupture as they should at ovulation.
While
allopathic drugs are merely suppressive and don't cure the cause, Homeopathy is
a proven winner in PCOS. It improves and more importantly regularizes the
menstrual cycle, minimizes cyst formation and regulated hormonal imbalance.
