Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Description:

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a condition, which causes hormonal disorder in women, causing the enlargement of ovaries with small fluid-filled sacs, called cysts, inside them. Periods happen when the ovaries release the eggs. The uterine wall that builds up to protect the egg sheds. Together they release the egg and the uterine wall cause the menstrual bleeding. In a healthy condition, ovaries produce the female hormones, estrogen and progesterone, and a small amount of male hormone called androgen. These three hormones cause menstrual periods, which is the periodic release of eggs (ovulation). Polycystic Ovary Syndrome triggers the excessive formation of androgen, which causes an imbalance of these 3 hormones. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a condition,
which causes hormonal disorder in women, causing
the enlargement of ovaries with small
fluid-filled sacs, called cysts, inside them.
Periods happen when the ovaries release the
eggs. The uterine wall that builds up to protect
the egg sheds. Together they release the egg and
the uterine wall cause the menstrual bleeding. In
a healthy condition, ovaries produce the female
hormones, estrogen and progesterone, and a small
amount of male hormone called androgen. These
three hormones cause menstrual periods, which is
the periodic release of eggs (ovulation).
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome triggers the
excessive formation of androgen, which causes an
imbalance of these 3 hormones.

First detected in 1721, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
is characterized mainly by the irregularities in
the menstrual cycle. Three main features
responsible for PCOS are cyst in ovary,
production of the high level of the male hormone
androgen, and irregular or missed periods. With
more than 1 million cases in India per year, PCOS
is a common condition in women. But that does
not undermine its seriousness. The health risks
that Polycystic Ovary Syndrome poises on women
include difficult pregnancy, diabetes, and heart
diseases.
4
The exact cause of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is
uncertain, but experts assume that it is the
combination of some genetic and environmental
factors that trigger this hormonal imbalance in
women. Almost 70 of the women
dont realize that they are suffering from PCOS
until the symptoms like excessive hair growth on
face and body, acne, etc. worsen.
5
Symptoms
In Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, women fail to
release the eggs normally which results in
irregular, skipped, or prolonged menstrual
periods. Some of the most common symptoms of
PCOS are as follows Irregular periods Cysts
trigger the excess production of androgen that
causes hormonal imbalance and interferes with
ovulation. This causes skipped or irregular
periods. Women with PCOS can have fewer than 8
periods in a year. Heavy bleeding When the
uterine wall builds up for a longer period, it
can cause unusually heaving bleeding.
6
Hair growth Studies have shown that excess hair
growth on face and body, hirsutism, is the most
common symptom seen in women with PCOS. Acne
Excess androgen production makes skin oilier than
usual, which causes acne breakout on the
skin. Weight gain Obesity is a common complaint
among more than 80 of the women suffering
PCOS Baldness Hair on the scalp starts getting
thinner, which triggers male-type baldness.
