You Are Not Alone! Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a complex endocrine disturbance found in 5 - 30% of the world's female population. First diagnosed in 1935 as Stein - Levinthal Syndrome, it is one of the most common causes of
infertility, and yet it still is misdiagnosed in most cases.
The symptoms of PCOS vary within each individual, but common complaints include: irregular menstrual periods, male pattern baldness, obesity or unexplained weight gain, excessive facial and/or body hair, insulin resistance and infertility. Women who have PCOS have an increased risk of adult onset diabetes, hypertension, early onset heart disease, cancers of the reproductive organs, and a higher chance of miscarriage and infertility. Though there is currently no cure for this disorder, it can be controlled to an extent with certain medications and a proper diet.
I want to add my name to the list of "cysters" out there on the web, those who know what they are dealing with, and those who are just now discovering what their bodies have been telling them all along. Just knowing that what I am facing has been dealt with for decades, gives me the strength and courage to make it through another day. Thank you all! We are angels with but one wing, and to fly we must embrace each other.

Background: In polycystic ovary disease, enlarged ovaries with thickened sclerotic capsules and an abnormally high number of follicles are present. The follicles may concurrently exist in varying states of growth, maturation, or atresia. Although a multiplicity of clinical presentations exists, Stein and Leventhal reported the classic symptomatology in 1935. They described a group of women with amenorrhea, infertility, hirsutism, and enlarged polycystic ovaries. The authors found that, after ovarian biopsy, the women began to menstruate regularly. As was discovered over time, women may have polycystic ovaries, yet their cases may not conform to all of the original criteria. Therefore, Stein-Leventhal syndrome became a subgroup of a more encompassing disease called polycystic ovary disease. As more information regarding the nature of the condition has come to light, other terms have been applied, including polycystic ovaries syndrome and polyfollicular ovarian disease. In actuality, polycystic ovaries are not the primary cause of amenorrhea or hirsutism in this condition. They are simply one sign of an underlying endocrinologic disorder that ultimately results in anovulation.

    Stein-Leventhal syndrome
    Alternative Names: Polycystic ovaries; Sclerocystic ovarian disease; Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
    Treatment: Medications used to treat the symptoms of Stein-Leventhal syndrome include oral contraceptives, spironolactone, flutamide, and clomiphene citrate. Treatment with clomiphene induces the pituitary gland to produce more FSH, which in turn stimulates maturity and release of the ova. Occasionally, more potent ovulation induction agents (fertility drugs, human menopausal gonadotropins) are needed for pregnancy. A "wedge resection" of the ovaries has been used in the past to remove cysts. Finally, weight reduction , which may be very difficult, is also very important. Maintaining general good health and eliminating the complications of obesity are helpful.
    Expectations (prognosis): Pregnancy may be achieved with appropriate medical intervention.

    Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (Stein-Leventhal Syndrome)
    What is polycystic ovary syndrome?
    Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a disorder in which many benign cysts form on the ovaries under a thick, white covering. It causes your menstrual cycle to be irregular or you may have no periods at all. PCOS can make it hard for you to become pregnant. It causes other problems as well. The two ovaries are part of the female reproductive system. They produce eggs and the female hormonesestrogen and progesterone. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs in or on an ovary. This disorder is most common in women less than 30 years old. It has also been called Stein-Leventhal syndrome.
