Understanding the Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder in reproductive years, disrupts menstrual cycles and elevates androgen levels. Fluid-filled cysts, or follicles, containing immature eggs form on the ovary’s outer edge, hindering regular egg release. While the exact cause remains unknown, early diagnosis, treatment, and weight loss can reduce risks of long-term complications like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Causes of Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

The exact cause of PCOS isn’t known. Factors that might play a role include:

 

  1. Insulin Resistance: PCOS may stem from insulin resistance, where cells resist insulin’s action, causing elevated blood sugar. Excessive insulin can trigger an overproduction of the male hormone androgen, disrupting ovulation. Signs include dark patches of skin, increased appetite, and weight gain.Low-Grade Inflammation: PCOS is associated with long-term, low-grade inflammation. White blood cells release substances, leading to androgen production in polycystic ovaries. This inflammation may contribute to heart and blood vessel issues.3. Heredity: Genetic factors could link to PCOS. Research suggests certain genes play a role, and a family history of PCOS may increase the likelihood of developing the condition.

    4. Elevated Androgen: Excess insulin may stimulate the production of androgens, contributing to PCOS. Disruptions in ovulation, marked by irregular periods, can result from this hormonal imbalance.

    5. Metabolic Factors: PCOS may be influenced by metabolic factors, with insulin resistance and elevated androgens affecting the ovaries. Managing these factors through lifestyle changes can mitigate the impact on reproductive health.
