About PCOD/PCOS

PCOD/PCOS stands for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD). It is a hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age, usually between the ages of 18 and 44. It is the most common endocrine disorder that affects women of reproductive age and is the leading cause of infertility in women. In general, it is estimated that 5-10% of women of reproductive age in the United States have PCOS.

PCOS takes place due to an imbalance of hormones in the body, primarily the hormones estrogen and progesterone. It is characterized by a variety of symptoms including irregular or absent menstrual cycles, excessive body and facial hair growth, acne, obesity, and infertility. It is important to note that each woman with PCOS may experience different symptoms, and some may not experience any symptoms at all.

Lifestyle changes such as eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly can help to reduce some of the symptoms of PCOS and help to regulate hormone levels. Medications such as birth control pills, anti-androgens, and metformin can also be in use to manage the symptoms of PCOS.

Causes of PCOD/PCOS

PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disorder) or PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome-filled sacs on the outer edges of an ovary. PCOS can lead to several complications such as infertility, acne, hirsutism and obesity. The major causes of PCOD/PCOS are as follows.

Hormonal Imbalance

1

The main cause of PCOS is an imbalance in the hormones, specifically that of androgens, estrogen and progesterone. This hormonal imbalance in the body can throw off the production of ovaries, interfere with regular ovulation, and cause irregular menstrual cycles.

Genetic Predisposition

2

PCOS most often runs in the family, suggesting a genetic component to the condition. Women with a close relative diagnosed with PCOS, are at an increased risk of developing the disorder.

Insulin Resistance

3

Insulin resistance is an impaired ability of the body to respond to the effects of insulin. This condition can cause an increase in the production of male hormones, thus leading to PCOS.

Inflammation

4

According to some studies, inflammation may also be a contributing factor to PCOS.

Stress

5

Stress has been linked to the development of PCOS. Women who are under a lot of stress are more likely to develop PCOS.

Lack of Physical Activity

6

Not exercising frequently can also be a contributing factor to PCOS. Exercise helps to regulate hormones in the body, helps the body to be more responsive to the effects of insulin, helps to reduce stress and is essential for maintaining a healthy weight.

Weight

7

Women who are overweight or obese are more likely to suffer from PCOS. The increase in body weight can also lead to an excess production of androgens, which can cause the symptoms of PCOS.

Risk factors for PCOD/PCOS

There are several risk factors with PCOS/PCOD as follows

  • Family History
  • Insulin Resistance
  • Obesity
  •  Ethnicity
  • Diet and Exercise
  • Stress
  • Age
