Answer 1

What is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a health problem that can affect a woman's hormone levels, periods, and ovulation. This can affect fertility and pregnancy. It can also cause male-type body changes.

If you have PCOS, your hormone (endocrine) system is out of balance. This can lead to serious health problems, such as diabetes and heart disease.
What are the symptoms?

If you have PCOS, you may have problems with:

* Acne.
* Weight gain and have trouble losing weight.
* Male pattern baldness or thinning hair on the scalp.
* Hair growth on the face, back, or chest.
* High blood sugar (hyperglycemia).

PCOS also can cause menstrual and pregnancy problems, including:

* No periods or irregular periods.
* Trouble getting pregnant.
* Repeat miscarriages.
* Gestational diabetes during pregnancy.

Living with PCOS symptoms can affect your emotional well-being, sexual satisfaction, and overall quality of life. This can lead to depression. 1
What causes PCOS?

The cause of PCOS is not known.

PCOS problems are caused by hormone changes. One hormone change triggers another, which changes another. This makes a "vicious circle" of out-of-balance hormones in your endocrine system, including:

* Ovary hormones. When the hormones that trigger ovulation are not at the right levels, the ovary does not release an egg every month. In some women, cysts form on the ovaries. These cysts make androgen.
* High androgen levels. High androgen in a woman causes male-type hair and acne problems and can stop ovulation.
* High insulin and blood sugar levels. About half of women with PCOS have a problem with how the body uses insulin, called insulin resistance. When the body doesn't use insulin well, blood sugar builds to high levels. If not treated, this can lead to diabetes.
* High cholesterol levels. This is common with PCOS.

Experts do not yet fully understand what triggers PCOS hormone changes. But they have found that lowering insulin levels seems to improve PCOS problems. 2

You may have a high risk of PCOS if members of your family have had PCOS or type 2 diabetes.
Does PCOS increase your risk for other health problems?

PCOS raises your risks of infertility, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obstructive sleep apnea, heart disease, uterine (endometrial) cancer, and diabetes. (Of women who have PCOS, about 1 in 10 have type 2 diabetes by age 40. 2 ) If you do not have menstrual bleeding for a year or more, your risk of uterine cancer increases.

Treating PCOS can lower these health risks.

With PCOS, you also have higher risks of miscarriage and gestational diabetes. This may be linked to high insulin levels. 3
How is PCOS diagnosed?

No single test can show that you have PCOS. Your doctor will talk to you about your medical history, symptoms, and menstrual cycles. During your physical exam, he or she will check you for physical signs of PCOS. You may also have tests to measure your blood sugar (glucose), androgen, and cholesterol levels.

Many women find out that they have PCOS after they have had a repeat miscarriage or problems getting pregnant.
How is it treated?

If you have PCOS, your hormone system is out of balance. To correct this, your first step is to look at what you eat, how much you eat, and how much physical activity you get.

* Having PCOS raises your risks of serious health problems. Eating heart-healthy foods, along with getting regular exercise, is the key to lowering these risks.
* If you are overweight and have PCOS, a small amount of healthy weight loss is likely to start up your menstrual cycle and ovulation. (PCOS can make it hard to lose weight—making a plan with your doctor, a nutritionist, and/or an athletic trainer can help.)

Talk to your doctor about your goals for treatment.

* If you are trying to get pregnant, healthy weight control may be all that you need to start ovulating. Sometimes, also using diabetes and/or fertility medicine can help.
* If you are not trying to get pregnant, birth control pills can help get your menstrual cycle back on track. (A healthy diet and exercise are still important—taking this medicine alone does not help with heart, blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes risks.) Sometimes, also using diabetes medicine can help.

Answer 2

I have pcos and for years I did not know. I was very overweight and not having a period. I was on BC for a while and I would have a period, but I wanted a baby. I went to see my Dr. and they did all of these tests and found out I had pcos and I was insulin resistant. I started exercising and taking metformin. I was still not ovulating, but after about 1 year I got pregnant and had a healthy baby girl. I breastfed her for a year and started the metformin again, three months later I was pregnant again with no complications at all. Pcos can be managed but not cured. Some people also have luck with clomid!! You can conceive in most cases. You just have to find out what your body responds to, ask your doctor to run tests!! Good Luck!!

Answer 3

Jehovah has given us the cure for all diseases. It is God's kingdom. Have you read Isaiah 33:24? Did you know that sin causes sickness? Compare Matthew 9:2. There are other scriptures, but they are harder to find. And, when sin is taken away from the world, then both death and sickness will be done away with. Compare Romans 5:12 with Revelation 21:3, 4. See also Psalms 110:1 and 1 Corinthians 15:26, 27, 54. In a way, even those who died are still alive to Jehovah. Compare John 11:11, 14 Luke 20:37, 38.
