Among many hormonal diseases, polycystic ovarian syndrome commonly known
as POCs is the most prevalent in women.
In this syndrome, the outer edge of the ovary gets thick and cysts
appear outside every ovary.
Polycystic ovary syndrome has symptoms including excessive hair growth
on the body, excessive uterine bleeding, high blood pressure, obesity,
excessive insulin, elevated levels of androgens and acne. Difficulty in getting
pregnant and irregular menstruation cycle is also due to POC. In older women,
difficulty of conceiving or unnecessary weight gain possibly will be the first
sign of getting affected with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
Researchers are working on finding out the causes of POCs, but it’s
still unknown. This is a genetic disease which can effect generations to
generations. The complications could become fatal if not diagnosed early
on. Heart diseases and acute diabetes
could be caused by POCs.
There are several ways to treat POCs, including medicines in the early
stages, whereas surgeries and alternative medicine are prescribed for the
severe cases.
