Women are experiencing more and more menstrual irregularities as well as stress, which can lead to difficulty conceiving. Doctors usually say it could be caused by PCOS or PCOD. It affects about five million women only in the US and can cause hormonal imbalances in women aged 18-45 years. Ignoring this hormonal imbalance can lead to serious health problems, including difficulties in conception. PCOS must be treated as soon as possible.
What is PCOS
PCOS is a common ovarian disorder and endocrine condition. Multiple small cysts are present in the ovaries. The follicles cannot release the ovum due to hormonal imbalances. This leads to immature follicles (cysts) filling the ovary. PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) is another name for it.
PCOS is a common condition in women of reproductive age.
PCOS Causes
PCOS has no known cause. It is hereditary, according to studies. PCOS is caused by the excessive release of hormones like androgens or estrogens. This leads to a lack of ovulation. This leads to an enlargement in the ovaries, and excessive hormone production. It is a vicious cycle that continues to repeat itself.
PCOS can also be caused by hyperactive adrenal glands.
PCOS can be caused by obesity or excess weight.
PCOS Signs and Symptoms
Some women may not show any symptoms of PCOS, but an Ultrasound Scan (USG), however, may reveal PCOS.
Some people may exhibit the following signs and symptoms:
- Menstrual irregularities: Some women may have less bleeding, while others may experience excessive bleeding caused by an excessive uterine lining due to excessive estrogen production. Menstruation can be irregular, infrequent, or even nonexistent.
- Hirsutism in Skin: Increased hair growth, also known as hirsutism, can be caused by excess estrogen production. Acne, dark patches, and other skin symptoms are all possible.
- Obesity: Nearly 50% of women with PCOS are overweight and obese. The excess production of androgens and estrogens that occurs with obesity can aggravate irregular menstrual cycles.
- Problems with conception: In PCOS, the follicles cannot release a mature ovum. This leads to infertility for about 20% of women.
- Insulin Resistance: Approximately 40% of PCOS sufferers are insulin-resistant, meaning their cells react abnormally when insulin is administered. If this condition is not treated, it may lead to diabetes type 2.
How to Diagnose PCOS
After a clinical examination, doctors may suggest an ultrasound scan (USG). USG can show multiple cysts and enlarged ovaries. USG can confirm the diagnosis. Blood tests are also done along with USG to measure the level of hormones such as Luteinising Hormone (LH) and androgens. Insulin and cholesterol levels are also tested. In certain cases, diagnostic laparoscopy is also recommended.
PCOS causes hormonal imbalances that if untreated can lead to serious health problems, including infertility. PCOS is a condition that should be treated as soon as possible.
There have been many advances in natural health sciences, such as Ayurveda and Homeopathy, that give you hope for a better future without side effects.
Homeopathy can be used to treat PCOS
Homeopathy, as a complementary health science system, can be one of the most effective ways to manage PCOS. This is because it focuses on treating its root cause. Homeopathic science is not limited to external causes.
Homeopathy treats the mind, body, and spirit together. Homeopathy says that our bodies are capable of keeping themselves free from disease. When the immune system becomes deranged, the body cannot protect itself from illness. Homeopathy can help restore health to the sick by improving the function of the organ and balancing vitality. The body will naturally heal itself once the vitality has been restored and the organs are functioning properly. Homeopathic supplements should be taken in small doses.
We will explore revolutionary homeopathic studies:
- Cimicifuga Racemose: Cimicifuga is also called black cohosh. It belongs to the Buttercup family. Researchers have found that cimicifuga racese can help improve female hormones.1,2
- Pulsatilla is a homeopathic remedy that’s commonly used for a variety of health problems. According to the study, homeopathic pulsatilla improves the function of the female reproductive organ. 3
- Gossypium herbalaceum: Gossypium is also known as Levant Cotton. It is a perennial mallow shrub that can grow up to 6′ tall. A study shows that gossypium herbalaceum can help improve menstruation and address ovarian problems. 4
- Caulophyllum: Caulophyllum belongs to the berberidaceae. Caulophyllum has been known to help “tone up the Uterus” and improve uterine contractions. Caulophyllum has been traditionally used to regulate women’s hormones and menstrual function. 5
- Arum muriaticum: Arum muruaticum has a profound effect on the body and mind. It is believed to affect almost all spheres of your body. Aurum muriaticum is believed to help balance the female endocrine system and regulate menstruation. 4
