It adversely affects women at varying life stages, but unfortunately, half of the women with PCOS are unaware and ignorant about it. As it is a complex and multifaceted condition, it impacts women&#8217;s health and well-being in a multitude of ways. Therefore, it is imperative to create awareness and emphasize prevention strategies.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering the steep rise in PCOS in women between the ages of 12 to 45, Tech Mahindra Foundation took the initiative to create awareness about PCOS through a webinar. The objective of this webinar was to educate everyone, especially girls, women and paramedics, about the symptoms, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of Polycystic Ovarian Disease. I was delighted to disseminate information about the disease and share my knowledge with aspiring paramedics pursuing the courses at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smart-academy.in\/hindi\/paramedical-institutes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u091f\u0947\u0915 \u092e\u0939\u093f\u0902\u0926\u094d\u0930\u093e \u0938\u094d\u092e\u093e\u0930\u094d\u091f \u0905\u0915\u093e\u0926\u092e\u093f\u092f\u093e\u0902<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This article looks at key information on causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of PCOS shared during the webinar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_Awareness_About_PCOS_Important\"><\/span><b>Why is Awareness About PCOS Important?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PCOS affects a women&#8217;s hormones, and this hormonal imbalance causes a woman&#8217;s body to skip menstrual periods resulting in excessive hair growth and androgen levels. This condition also makes it harder for women to conceive. The delay in diagnosis of PCOS can lead to the progression of comorbidities. So, being aware of the causes and symptoms of PCOS can help a woman get early treatment and prevent further health complications, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, infertility, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_PCOS\"><\/span><b>What is PCOS?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, commonly known as PCOS, is an endocrine system disorder common among women of reproductive age. It is characterized by overproduction of androgen (male hormone), abnormality in menstrual cycles, or the presence of small cysts in ovaries. Ovulation happens when the ovaries release the egg so that the sperm can fertilize it. In the case of PCOS, the woman does not make enough hormones necessary for ovulation. The lack of ovulation results in cyst formation. The cysts produce high levels of male hormones, which hinder a woman&#8217;s menstrual cycle and account for the multiple symptoms of PCOS. Although the exact reason for PCOS is unknown, early diagnosis and treatment and weight loss may reduce the risk of multiple morbidities associated with PCOS.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_Signs_and_Symptoms\"><\/span><b>Its Signs and Symptoms<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The preliminary signs and symptoms of PCOS usually develop around the first menstrual period during puberty. However, it may also develop later as a result of weight gain. The signs and symptoms of PCOS vary. The signs and symptoms can be typically more severe if the patient is obese.\u00a0PCOS is typically diagnosed when at least two of the following signs are present in the patient:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Irregular Menstrual Cycle (Periods):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A common sign of PCOS is an infrequent, irregular, or prolonged menstrual cycle. For example, having fewer than nine periods a year, or more than 35 days between periods, or abnormally heavy periods are considered irregular periods.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Excess Androgen:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Increased levels of male hormones (androgens) may result in physical signs such as hirsutism (excessive facial and body hair) and occasionally male-pattern baldness and severe acne.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Polycystic Ovaries:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The ovaries might increase in size and contain follicles that surround the eggs. These follicles do not open and form small cysts. Hence, the ovaries might fail to function regularly.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_Causes\"><\/span><b>Its Causes<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The exact causes of PCOS are still unknown. However, it is related to genetics, environmental, and lifestyle factors. It is believed that high levels of androgens prevent the ovaries from producing hormones and making eggs normally. The factors causing PCOS are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Excessive Insulin<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insulin is the hormone that is produced in the pancreas that lets cells use sugar from foods. If these cells become resistant to the action of insulin, then the blood sugar levels can rise, and the pancreas might produce more insulin. The excess insulin triggers the ovaries to produce more androgens, causing difficulty with ovulation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Low-Grade Inflammation<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This term describes white blood cells&#8217; production of substances to fight infection. Research suggests that women suffering from PCOS have low-grade inflammation that stimulates polycystic ovaries to produce androgens, which leads to cardiovascular and blood vessel problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Heredity<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research suggests that specific genes might be linked to PCOS. It may run in families, and it is common for a mother and daughter or sisters to have PCOS. Additionally, women with a family history of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or Type 2 Diabetes are more prone to develop PCOS.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Excessive Androgen<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ovaries produce elevated androgen levels, resulting in physical signs like hirsutism, male pattern baldness, and acne.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Complications\"><\/span><b>Complications<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women with PCOS may develop considerable complications.

The doctor will begin with discussing your medical history, including patient\u2019s menstrual periods and weight changes. Moreover, a doctor may recommend a physical examination to check for signs of excess hair growth, acne and insulin resistance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A physician might recommend:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pelvic Exam:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In it, the doctor checks the uterus.

This testing excludes possible causes of menstrual irregularities or excessive androgen levels that mimic PCOS. Your doctor may have your triglycerides, 25-hydroxy Vit D3, FSH, serum luteinising hormone, testosterone, estradiol, 17-OH progesterone, TSH, and serum prolactin checked.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Ultrasound:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Transvaginal ultrasound is done to check the size and appearance of your ovaries and the thickness of the uterus lining.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The doctor might recommend additional tests for complications after being diagnosed with PCOS. These tests include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regular checks of blood pressure, glucose tolerance, and cholesterol and triglyceride levels.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Screening for obstructive sleep apnea.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Screening for depression and anxiety.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Treatment\"><\/span><b>Treatment<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment of PCOS is individualized to cure prevailing symptoms and is focused on correcting irregular bleeding, infertility, hirsutism, acne and preventing diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The specific treatment of PCOS might involve lifestyle changes and relevant medication. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lifestyle Changes<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;\">The doctor will recommend weight loss as it increases the effectiveness of the medication. Switching to a low-calorie diet along with moderate exercise will help in significantly improving the symptoms related to PCOS. To begin with, your doctor will recommend you to lose 5% of your body weight.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Medication<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;\">The medications also vary according to the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome. A combination of birth control pills and progestin therapy can help regulate the menstrual cycle. There are many medications that a doctor may recommend to help a woman with PCOS ovulate.<\/span><br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The physician might also prescribe birth control pills, creams, or electrolysis to reduce hair growth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Home Remedies<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;\">PCOS is completely controllable with diet and exercise.
