PCOS TREATMENT
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is very common: between 4% and 8% of women of reproductive age are affected. The condition has a genetic origin and is associated with insulin resistance.
For its diagnosis, the following criteria must be met:
Irregular menstrual periods without monthly ovulation.
Elevated androgens (acne, increased hair growth, and obesity).
Other possible symptoms include: Hair loss, blood sugar issues, high cholesterol, and difficulty achieving pregnancy.
The treatment focuses on making lifestyle changes, such as adopting healthier habits like exercise and a weight-loss diet. With just these practices, a large group of people experiences significant improvement and may achieve pregnancy spontaneously.
It may also be necessary to use medications to improve insulin function and lower circulating blood sugar levels, as well as to perform ovarian stimulation to enhance fertility. Even if pregnancy is not being sought, it is important to correct metabolic and hormonal disorders in the long term.
