PERSONALIZED Care Ovarian Support

There is no one special test that can determine a PCOS diagnosis. Instead, doctors must rely on symptoms, blood tests, a physical exam, and sometimes a pelvic ultrasound to determine whether you have polycystic ovary syndrome – rather than another condition that can trigger similar signs and symptoms. Your doctor will start by asking questions about your medical history of symptoms such as irregular or skipped periods, weight changes, hair changes, and acne. While some women with PCOS have several telltale signs of this metabolic condition caused by multiple hormone imbalances, others may have just two or three symptoms. It’s important to let your doctor know about any and all of the health issues and concerns you have been experiencing.

Numerous physical symptoms can be used to diagnose PCOS, including menstrual cycles that are irregular or what we call amenia, severe acne or pimples, and facial hair, such as a beard. In addition, ovarian cysts may prevent a woman with PCOS from getting pregnant when she tries to conceive a child.

Yes, a woman can have Polycystic ovarian even if they had their regular period in their early menstruation, and it will become irregular when the symptoms of the PCOS kick in. There are many reasons why it happens. First is that when there is a history of diabetes in the family, this can cause hypertension, heart disease, sudden weight gain, or sudden weight loss, including emotional stress, since the reason for Polycystic ovarian is about unbalanced hormones.

When we refer to an ovarian cyst as polycystic, we mean that it multiplies each month to the point where the ovary fails to generate hormones and your menstruation is interrupted. For this reason, in response to the concern, cysts inside the ovary do not grow larger; rather, they multiply.

There are several kinds, so although some women have monthly menstruation, others may only experience it for one or two months. Each woman with polycystic ovarian is different. Some individuals can detect the presence of an ovarian cyst using ultrasonography even in the absence of symptoms. For this reason, having a running cyst in your ovary does not automatically indicate that you have PCOS. There is a difference between Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and Polycystic Ovarian because having a syndrome means having symptoms, whereas the latter is characterized by regular menstruation and ultrasound-only cyst visualization and doesn't have symptoms.

There is no actual specific workout for PCOS, it also doesn't need to be strenuous or hard, even walking or running can do. Regular exercise is recommended since young people these days don't get enough physical activity. Nowadays, people spend more time on their phones and less time doing things. Nevertheless, we continue to require them to eat a diet that is nutritious and well-balanced.

Avoiding sweets and eating carbohydrates is advised since PCOS is associated with insulin resistance—a condition in which the body is unable to break down glucose or sugar as energy because it fails to respond to the hormone 'insulin'. For instance, if a person with PCOS consumes lots of sugar and carbohydrates, it usually does not break down in their metabolism because their body is either insensitive to insulin or is unable to respond to it properly. Given that they have a higher risk of developing diabetes, women with PCOS should refrain from milk tea, coffee, and junk food, as well as sweets like chocolate and doughnuts etc. S
