One of the leading causes of infertility and conception problems in women is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS. It can develop as a reaction to the body producing too much insulin. This problem induces in women a response whereby the body begins to produce male hormones and androgens to balance the oversupply of insulin. Naturally this affects the body in many different ways, one of which is infertility and so it can be very hard getting pregnant with PCOS.
PCOS has multiple effects on a woman's body. As every woman is different, the symptoms and effects felt from PCOS also differ from woman to woman. There are some common symptoms such as type two diabetes, an increase in facial hair, hair on the back and chest accompanied by a loss of head hair; acne and pelvic pain among others. For some women, all this symptoms amount to nothing when compared to infertility.
PCOS disturbs the normal functioning of a menstrual cycle. In the first stages of the cycle the ovaries develop tiny follicles inside of which are the eggs. As the cycle continues, only one follicle will develop fully and it is from this follicle that the egg comes out of during ovulation. There is a hormone called LH which is responsible for setting this all in motion, and the body responds in the menstrual cycle to rising levels of LH. If there is not enough LH, then there will be no ovulation, and women with PCOS usually don't secrete the necessary amounts. This means that all those follicles that come at the start of the cycle and usually develop into eggs don't mature, and many simply turn into cysts. These cysts are the ones which are visible when women get ultrasound testing. These cysts often share the appearance of a string of pearls around the ovaries. On top of this, the menstrual cycle can become very irregular of cease outright in women with PCOS.
Every woman with PCOS is not diagnosed with the condition. Not all women have trouble getting pregnant with PCOS even with an irregular cycle there are those who can still conceive and birth a healthy baby. Estimated put the figure at around five or ten percent of women have PCOS.
What are the things which can help those who suffer from PCOS? Some women have had success with simply loosing weight, as this can help to trigger a hormonal rebalance in the body. For women without a weight issues, there are medical drugs for PCOS, but rushing into a treatment with harsh drugs is unnecessary and unadvisable when there are numerous natural remedies and tonics which can effectively help with PCOS. The unfortunate reality is that these kind of wonder drugs are lumped on us left right and centre for whatever condition we may have. Lots of these drugs are simple tested for short-term side effects, without any studies made of their long term effects, or the effects on the next generation. These drugs are still available, even though there is mounting evidence that they are linked to cancer.
A good friend, who I'll call Candy for the purposes of the article had PCOS from when she was just a child. Candy had the condition all through her teens, but didn't know it until she had an ultrasound test when she was 17. Her real concern was that she may not be able to get pregnant in later years, as her menstruation had always been irregular. When Candy got the ultrasound done, it showed that she had a very serious case of PCOS. Because she was so concerned she went to see a specialist to see what could be done, and find out if she would still be able to have kids when the time was right. The so called 'specialist' told her that there was no problem, because she could just take drugs to conceive when she wanted to, despite the fact that these drugs are responsible for multiple births and complications in thousands of women. Needless to say, she is in no hurry to be going back to that 'specialist' for those drugs.
As an add-on to that story, Candy had some more tests done not long after to see what was happening in her body, and found out that with a big cleanse, and an adjustment in her diet to include lots of fresh organic produce the PCOS had totally disappeared. And when the time was right, her chances of getting pregnant were just like normal women.
Very often the reason for having trouble getting pregnant with PCOS and with infertility is because the internal state of the body is not healthy enough to sustain a healthy baby. By looking at the body's health and balance and finding natural solutions you can achieve your dream of a healthy happy baby and a natural pregnancy. - 31802
