Previous page: The Older Woman (Page 2) Next page: The Cervical Factor ... Table of Contents Patients suffering from polycystic ovarian disease ( PCOD ) have multiple small cysts in their ovaries ( the word poly means many). These cysts occur when the regular changes of a normal menstrual cycle are disrupted. The ovary is enlarged; and produces excessive amounts of androgen and estrogenic hormones. This excess, along with the absence of ovulation, may cause infertility. Other names for PCOD are polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or the Stein-Leventhal syndrome. Diagnosis PCOD can be easy to diagnose in some patients. The typical medical history is that of irregular menstrual cycles, which are unpredictable and can be very heavy ; and the need to take hormonal tablets (progestins) to induce a period. Patients suffering from PCOD are often obese and may have hirsutism , (excessive facial and body hair) as a result of the high androgen levels. However, remember that not all patients with PCOD will have all or any of these symptoms.

104. Ask The Doctor About Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Dr. Tom Cowan discusses dietary changes and herbal supplements for treating PCOS, or polycystic ovarian syndrome. By Tom Cowan, MD. http://www.westonaprice.org/askdoctor/ask_pcos.html

By Tom Cowan, MD Question: I am a 30 year old female with a history of facial hair, acne, slight male pattern baldness (bitemporal), moderate weight problem, menstrual cramps and low libido. I have recently discovered how hormones influence these problems, and I am wondering what to do to get my hormones back in balance? I was a vegetarian for 10 years, but I've recently switched to a traditional diet over the last few months. I've lost weight and feel great, but I've still got the facial hair and slight acne. How long does it take to get everything back to normal? Thank you very much for any help you can provide! Answer: Congratulations on the changes in your diet and lifestyle! Hopefully, you are well on your way to regaining your health. It sounds as though your problem is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), and that you have many of the common symptoms of this condition. This usual syndrome of PCOS consists of a young female who is often overweight (though not always), and has signs of excessive androgens (testosterone). These signs include male pattern baldness, facial hair, acne, abnormal menses (either irregular and painful or irregular bleeding patterns), changes in libido, and sometimes abdominal distress or bloating. Laporo-scopic examination of the ovaries usually reveals ovaries that are too large and full of cysts, hence the name of this condition. The source of the excessive testosterone is not clear. It is thought that the damage to the ovaries from the cysts results in their abnormal secretion of hormones, and therefore the myriad symptoms of hormonal imbalance that are seen.

Home Health Features Nine Signs of PCOS: Source: www.pcosupport.org Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Renee Davenport's Story From her freshman year in college, 35-year-old Renee Davenport struggled with difficult, irregular periods. Her campus ob-gyn couldn't offer a diagnosis, however, and once she went on the Pill, her cycles returned to normal and she put the problem in the back of her mind. That is, until she got married in August of 1989. Suddenly, Davenport, who had always been a size 10, ballooned up to a size 16 in less than three months. She also began experiencing other disturbing symptoms: excessive hair growth on her face, hair loss on the top of her head and periods that lasted anywhere from two weeks to several months. Davenport made the rounds between baffled doctors, surfed the Web and even thought about having a hysterectomy to stop her seemingly endless menstrual cycles. But it wasn't until she saw an endocrinologist three years later that she got a diagnosis: polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: A Poly-System Problem Eileen P. Geraci, RN, MA, APN-C Describe the clinical signs and symptoms of PCOS. Discuss the medical and nursing management of PCOS. More Common Than You Think PCOS may be the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, with estimates as high as 10% of women between ages 14 and 50. Approximately 625,000 new cases are diagnosed each year with patients presenting a widely diverse group of symptoms, most of which relate to excessive androgen release, higher than normal luteinizing hormone (LH) levels, and irregular or absent menses. PCOS is thought to be the underlying problem associated with approximately 75% of cases of infertility related to anovulation and more than 80% of patients with hirsutism. In addition to reproductive problems, approximately 35% of those with PCOS show evidence of insulin resistance. Among obese women with PCOS, 25% to 40% are likely to develop noninsulin-dependent diabetes by age 50. Patients with PCOS also have increased risk for impaired lipid metabolism and premature cardiovascular disease, and a threefold risk of developing endometrial or breast cancer from prolonged exposure to excessive amounts of unopposed estrogen, i.e., estrogen without the balancing effects of progesterone.

114. Treatment Of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome With Insulin Lowering Medications There is increasing data that hyperinsulinemia produces the hyperandrogenism of polycystic ovary syndrome by increasing ovarian androgen production http://www.ivf.com/pcostreat.html

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome... Treatment with Insulin Lowering Medications by Mark Perloe, M.D. INTRODUCTION: Polycystic ovary syndrome is characterized by anovulation (irregular or absent menstrual periods) and hyperandrogenism (elevated serum testosterone and androstenedione) . Patients with this syndrome may complain of abnormal bleeding, infertility, obesity, excess hair growth, hair loss and acne. In addition to the clinical and hormonal changes associated with this condition, vaginal ultrasound shows enlarged ovaries with an increased number of small (6-10mm) follicles around the periphery (Polycystic Appearing Ovaries or PAO) . While ultrasound reveals that polycystic appearing ovaries are commonly seen in up to 20% of women in the reproductive age range, P oly C ystic O vary S yndrome (PCOS) is a estimated to affect about half as many or approximately 6-10% of women. The condition appears to have a genetic component and those effected often have both male and female relatives with adult-onset diabetes, obesity, elevated blood triglycerides, high blood pressure and female relatives with infertility, hirsutism and menstrual problems. As of yet, we do not understand why one woman who demonstrates polycystic appearing ovaries on ultrasound has regular menstrual cycles and no signs of excess androgens while another develops PCOS. One of the major biochemical features of polycystic ovary syndrome is insulin resistance accompanied by compensatory

Home Issues Classifieds Contact ... Search Editorial Priorities in polycystic ovary syndrome A common, multifaceted syndrome for which intervention may help prevent serious long term sequelae MJA The diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has become much more common in recent years. It is now not unusual for women in the United States to come for consultation having self-diagnosed PCOS. This awareness is largely the result of the efforts of two well-organised advocacy groups in the US which communicate via the Internet, as well as information from recent articles in popular magazines. PCOS is extremely common, estimated to occur in 3%-7% of women of reproductive age. Because of the heterogeneous nature of the disorder, there is no universal consensus on the diagnostic criteria for PCOS. However, the classic features of the syndrome are well established and include chronic anovulation and hyperandrogenism (with or without skin manifestations). In most women, characteristic polycystic ovaries will be observed on ultrasonography. The criterion of enlarged ovaries, with 8-10 peripherally oriented cystic structures in a single sonographic plane, is best detected with the use of a vaginal probe. While many affected women are of normal body weight, obesity is common, as is the tendency to gain weight easily. However, there is less agreement about the diagnosis of PCOS in women who are ovulatory, and the relevance of isolated

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrinopathies in women of reproductive age. According to the initial description by Stein and Leventhal in 1935, the diagnosis of PCOS was based on the clinical symptoms (oligo/amneorrhea, infertility, hirsutism, and obesity) in the presence of histologically verified polycystic ovaries. Presently, ovarian morphology can easily be identified by ultrasound, which has revealed that PCOS is not only linked to the "classic Stein-Leventhal syndrome", but women with polycystic ovaries exhibit a wide spectrum of clinical presentations. PCOS account for 75% of women with anovulatory infertility, 30% to 49% of secondary amenorrhea, and 85% to 90% of women with oligomenorrhea. The majority of patients with PCOS are hirsute. Obesity is also a frequent finding among women with PCOS. 30 to 60% of PCOS patients are overweighted. Description of the disease Material and Methods Results Discussion ...
