Symptoms And Treatment Of Diabetes Ovarian Syndrome

Imagine a syndrome that can cause you, or a woman you know, to be infertile, depressed, anxious, obese, or hirsute, along with many others. Polycystic ovary syndrome can cause all of these issues in a woman who is affected by the condition. If it is not treated properly or on time, it could lead to other serious medical issues that could even be life threatening. Polycystic ovary syndrome, otherwise known as PCOS, is not a commonly known syndrome and many women affected by it are not diagnosed or treated for it. PCOS is a major medical problem that is affecting five to ten percent of the female population in the U.S. and many more across the globe (American Diabetes Association, 2014). This syndrome must become better known in the near future so that women with PCOS can take better control and care of their own body.

The motive of this paper is to present a analysis of current research on polycystic ovary syndrome more commonly known as PCOS. Pcos is one the most common endocrine disorders in women of reproductive age, affecting 5-10% of the population. Despite it's prevalence, pcos remains largely unknown. The main focus of this paper will be explaining what PCOS is, the causes, the diagnosis and the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome.

In this research paper I will attempt to discuss the causes, symptoms and signs of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, as well as how it is diagnosed and treated. As someone who is suffering from this disease, I found my research to be very informative and educational, raising awareness for my own understanding, and it is my intention to ensure that this same awareness is translated in my research paper.

Polycystic Ovarian syndrome was first characterized in the 1930’s and was called Stein Leventhal syndrome. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) starts with the appearance of many painless cysts on the ovaries. In females with polycystic ovarian syndrome the ovaries are larger than that of a non polycystic ovarian syndrome female. Pcos has various signs and symptoms which all come from an imbalance of certain hormones affecting the female reproductive system. Doctors have done various tests and studies on polycystic ovarian syndrome some say that the syndrome comes from hormonal imbalances where as some state that this disorder comes from certain genes within the family tree, as well as environmental factors. Thus far there are no direct causes; the syndrome itself has various hormones that come into play.

I chose to write about PCOS because I myself suffer from this disease. PCOS is short for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. PCOS is a type of disease where your ovaries fill up with follicles filled with fluid (cyst). It causes mainly infertility and type 2 diabetes. This disease is more common in women who are in the reproductive stage. Not only can it cause the infertility and type 2 diabetes, but it can also cause an irregular menstrual cycle and can cause your body to produce more of a male hormone called androgen. Some other things it may cause is depression, anxiety, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, high blood sugar and many other health problems.

The Mayo Clinic (2016) defines PCOS as a common endocrine system disorder among women of reproductive age (p1). In short, the syndrome is a hormonal malfunction in a woman’s body. Physicians and scientists are unsure of a cause but seem to shift towards a genetic glitch (1). Normally the pituitary gland in the brain releases two hormones, Luteinizing Hormone and Follicle Stimulating Hormone which stimulates the pancreases to increase insulin production (9). The Follicle Stimulating Hormone [FSH] does just that, it stimulated the follicles in the

There is one dream that every little girl has when growing up, that is becoming a mother; to love and watch her children grow. No one ever dreams of that not happening to them or being part of that group being label as infertile. It happens to millions of women living in the United States every day. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is the most common endocrine disease that affects women of reproductive age, which is typically puberty to menopause. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome does not only affect a woman’s ovaries and chances of conceiving, but it affects the whole endocrine system in the body. It can cause Excess Androgen Production, Insulin Resistant, Obesity, Hirsute and Cardiovascular problems.

What are some of the symptoms caused by PCOS? Some of the most common symptoms are missed or irregular periods, meaning you can go months at a time without having a menstrual cycle, also many small cysts form in and on their ovaries. According to the PCOS fact sheet, ’infertility (inability to get pregnant) because of not ovulating, is the most common cause of female infertility”. Since the body produces these male hormones it can cause women to have (”Hirsutism”) excessive body and facial hair on the toes and knuckles that face, back and stomach.

Risk Factors/Pathogenesis: The pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome is not known, and potential etiologies are explored in a recent review (8). PCOS is currently identified as a “complex multi-genetic disorder”. It has a strong genetic component as evidenced by familial

PCOS is a disease in which the hormones of a women’s body are out of balance because cysts form on the ovaries. So, when hormones are affected, the whole body is affected. PCOS can cause problems with a women’s period or make it difficult to get pregnant. PCOS may also cause unwanted changes to the way these women look. If treated early it can prevent more serious health conditions.

In recent years, Russia has been dealing with a variety of nationwide health problems. These include the raging diabetes epidemic that they have been trying to avoid for decades. According to Chelsea Caesar of the Moscow Times, “Four million people have been diagnosed with diabetes in Russia, and almost 6 million people are unaware of their disease.”. This is seriously affecting their general population. Russia should focus their time and money on treatment and research for Diabetes, since it is so greatly affecting their economic, lifestyle and health status.

Hello Everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful week. Lately on my mind has been dealing with PCOS! This "disease" is not a fun one. It affects women of all shapes and sizes, for me I knew that I had it before I was diagnosed with it. I was diagnosed many years ago, and then it was not as known as it is now.

Its from the PCOS, I have tried to lose weight and it takes me 2x the amount of work than a normal person. That is only one of the many ugly side effects that it has. Not all women who have it will experience all the symptoms, but for me I have a ton of them.

I am a beautiful 22 year old women who happens to be over weight! From this point on I am
