poly-cyctic ovarian syndrome?

Question

I am a 23 year old girl.I had pimples and a lot of acne since the past 8 years. 2 years ago, I was diagnosed of poly-cyctic ovaries and my dermatologist asked me to consume birth control pills. Its been over 1 year I am on these pills and my acne has reduced remarkably, but as a result, I have put on 15 kilos.

Also, after discontinuing the pills, the acne and all the other symptoms returm.

Please tell em a way to treat poly-cyctic ovaries. Can this be treated through yoga?

Answer 1

The treatment of this condition often depends on whether you wish to conceive or not. Your doctor will discuss these issues further with you.

1. Diet and exercise – there is good evidence that weight loss results in a significant improvement of the metabolic abnormalities associated with PCOS. A reduction in hair growth and sometimes a return to ovulatory cycles may occur. Weight loss alone may restore ovulation and menstruation.

2. Stimulation of ovulation with Clomiphene – Polycystic ovaries are very sensitive to stimulation and this treatment needs to be carefully monitored. Ovarian hyperstimulation and multiples pregnancies may result.

3. Surgery – ovarian drilling or wedge resection.
