  1. PCOS – Managing and Treating Irregular Periods

  2. According to most gynecologists, the average menstrual cycle (period) for women lasts approximately 5 days and appears every 28 days.  However, they admit that they regularly see many women whose periods come every 35 days and last for 7-8 days.  Some of these women even ‘skip months!’  These women are said to have irregular periods.  There are a few causes for this, one of which is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).  This, the causes, symptoms, and treatment options are discussed below.

  3. What is PCOS • Polycystic ovarian syndrome, commonly referred to as PCOS, occurs in women who have irregular hormone levels.  They produce much higher levels of testosterone and other male hormones.  This creates a hormonal imbalance which causes them to have inconsistent periods (periods which come after 30 days) or skip months in between periods.  Because women need to have regular and sufficient periods to get pregnant, women with PCOS have a harder time getting and staying pregnant. • PCOS affects women aged 15-44.  At least 2.2 and up to 26.7% of women in this age group have this hormonal imbalance.

  4. What causes PCOS? • The exact causes of PCOS are not completely known or understood.  However, since these women produce higher than normal levels of all male hormones, including testosterone, doctors believe that this factor prevents their bodies from making adequate levels of the female hormones necessary to produce healthy eggs and ovulate regularly. • Some proven causes of PCOS are genetic.  However, diabetes and inflammation of organs and joints (especially those in the reproductive tract) are thought to be major trigger factors, as is the excessive production of the male hormone androgen. • For more Please Visit : https://www.progenesisivf.com/blog/pcos-managing-and-treating-irregular-periods/
