Home About us Articles Books ... Quizzes Woman's Diagnostic Cyber Disease Profile Name polycystic ovarian syndrome Synonyms Stein-Leventhal syndrome, polycystic ovaries, sclerocystic ovaries, polycystic ovarian disease, PCOS, PCOD, PCO, anovulation with hyperandrogenism General description This disorder is characterized by changes to the ovaries such that multiple follicles accumulate in the ovaries without ovulation. The ovary secretes higher levels of testosterone and estrogens. This results in irregular or no menses, excess body hair growth, occasionally baldness, and often obesity, diabetes and hypertension. The main concerns of this condition are body changes (hair excess, obesity) and infertility due to anovulation. Because of the anovulation, women with polycystic ovarian syndrome are at risk for irregular and heavy menstrual bleeding problems, endometrial hyperplasia and even endometrial cancer ( ). They are also thought to be at increased risk for premature heart attacks and cardiac disease due to weight and diabetes effects although this has been recently questioned ( Is it common?

Search For Debate Polycystic ovary syndrome: a new direction in treatment Warren Kidson MJA Other articles have cited this article Abstract Introduction Insulin resistance in the polycystic ovary syndrome ... More articles on Endocrinology Abstract Polycystic ovary syndrome is a diagnosis made in 5%-10% of women between late adolescence and the menopause. Patients may present with oligomenorrhoea or amenorrhoea, anovulation or infertility, hirsutism or acne. Women with the syndrome have at least seven times the risk of myocardial infarction and ischaemic heart disease of other women, and by the age of 40 years up to 40% will have type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance. Polycystic ovary syndrome is associated with insulin resistance, with consequent hyperinsulinaemia and (frequently) hyperlipidaemia and obesity. Recent research has shown that the application of diabetes management techniques aimed at reducing insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia (such as weight reduction and the administration of oral hypoglycaemic agents) can not only reverse testosterone and luteinising hormone abnormalities and infertility, but can also improve glucose, insulin and lipid profiles. The management of polycystic ovary syndrome should now include patient education and attention to diabetes and cardiovascular risk factors such as hyperlipidaemia, obesity, physical exercise, glucose intolerance, hypertension and cigarette smoking.

Hello, my name is Nancy Dunne, N.D. I’m a licensed primary care physician in the state of Montana. My specialty is the use of natural medicine to improve the health of my patients. Over the past few years, PCOS and ovarian cysts have become especially relevant to me. My 20-year-old daughter's menstrual difficulties and persistent acne have been diagnosed as aspects of PCOS. This disturbing discovery galvanized me to do research in order to create a safe, effective treatment plan for her. The success we’ve had with her treatment has been so exciting, and my research has so fascinated me, that I’m now reaching out to other women. I want to share my experiences treating PCOS and its accompanying difficulties by using natural therapies. Most chronic health problems, including PCOS and ovarian cysts, result from complex combinations of inherited genetic susceptibility and controllable environmental factors including biochemical, nutritional, behavioral and psychological factors.

Follow the diabetes food guide pyramid for guidelines on what and how much to eat. People with diabetes have the same food needs as people without diabetes. 4. The amounts needed from each of the food groups is as follows: Grains, Beans, and Starchy Vegetables - 6 or more servings per day Fruits - 3-4 servings per day Vegetables - 3-5 servings per day Milk - 2-3 servings per day Fats and Oils - only in small amounts Sweets - only once in a while 5. Keeping a food record for a day or two, and then comparing the number of servings you eat to the number recommended by the diabetes food guide pyramid will tell you whether you are eating too much or too little of any of the food groups. 6. Also, remember that the recommended number of servings is for the whole day, so you might want to divide the total number by 3 to see the amount needed per meal. For example, 3-4 servings of fruit per day means 1 per meal or snack, spread throughout the day.

What side effects can be expected? ... Storing your medicine Available as tablets containing Cyproterone Acetate 2 mg + Ethinyloestradiol 35 microgram supplied under the trade name Dianette How does it work? Cyproterone Acetate is an anti-androgen and blocks the normal activity of the small amount of male type hormone called androgen which every women normally produces and is necessary for axillary and pubic hair formation and maintenance. Cyproterone can be highly effective in many women with excess sexual sited hair (called hirsutism). Only a small dose is present in Dianette combined with the female type hormone ethinyloestradiol (an oestrogen). This may be sufficient for women with mild hirsutism - much higher doses are used in severe cases (see Cyproterone Acetate). Cyproterone Acetate is also a potent progestational hormone (a second type of female sex hormone) and as such it inhibits the production of oestrogen. The addition of ethinyloestradiol compensates for the lack of oestrogen and the problems (hot flushes, menopausal-type symptoms) that would otherwise result. In relation to its component medicines, Dianette resembles the oral contraceptive and, indeed, acts as an oral contraceptive.
