Polycystic Syndrome News

You’ve been through the doctor’s appointments, the doctor’s come back and the diagnosis is in:  Ovarian Cysts or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).  What treatments are available for this?  What will your doctor recommend?

In your research you will find two options, drug therapy with insulin suppressing drugs or anti-androgens that suppress the androgen your body is making.  

Keep in mind these treatments are still drugs – side effects are likely with any drug.  How will your body react is the next question.  As much as everyone wants a pill that cures our body’s problems, there isn’t one.  The best drugs can do for us now is to suppress the main symptoms and let us live normally.

One popular drug therapy is metformin – metformin is a drug originally used to treat type 2 Diabetes and increase the body’s response to insulin, but now used as a treatment for pcos.  In pcos patients the body gains insulin resistance, making metformin an available treatment for pcos.  Insulin resistance in women with pcos causes the symptoms of weight gain, excess acne and reproductive issues.   Some of the side effects reported by people are diarrhea, nausea, gas, indegestion and headaches.

Another drug choice is an anti-androgen – androgen is the main hormone produced in the ovaries by PCOS. This excess hormone is the reason for the majority of the PCOS symptoms.  It will directly cause infertility, excess acne, weight gain and irregular cycles.  Anti-androgens are also used in treatments for prostate cancers and cause a range of side-effects such as constipation, nausea, headaches and decreased sex drive.  

What else is out there for ovarian cysts?  A therapy you should try is outlined in the book “Natural Ovarian Cyst Relief Secrets”.  It’s what I chose when I didn’t want to constantly take drugs or go into surgery.  How long did I want to take those?  If I could get a reliable treatment to shrink the size of my ovarian cysts and have a weapon against them – I would take it!  I went down all the research paths and found it last summer.  My pain was gone within a few days of starting.  Six weeks after I started I went to the doctor’s office for a checkup and new ultrasound – the cysts were gone!  I got rid of my ovarian cysts without surgery or drugs!

Approximately 10% of all women have polycystic syndrome (PCOS).  Ovarian cysts and polycystic syndrome are currently the leading cause of infertility.  Ovaries of women with PCOS produce an excess of androgen (male hormone).  It is the male hormone androgen that causes the ovulation process to be disrupted.

The current treatments for infertility due to PCOS stimulate the female hormones, causing the body to increase ovulation.  The increase in ovulation was believed to cause an increase in the pregnancy rates.  Current drug therapies include metformin and clomiphene, both studied extensively and found to increase ovulation, but found to not increase pregnancy rates or live-births in women studied.  It would seem that ovulations produced by these drugs are not equal to natural cycles.

The drug treatments are found to only increase the female hormones, not cure of even decrease PCOS and it’s symptoms.  The effect on the body is tremendous – think of the hormones you would normally produce and it’s relationship to your mood, energy and general well-being.  Your body with PCOS will add in the male hormones.  Now add in an excess of female hormones – two or three times the normal.  How would that effect your personality or your state of wellness?  Is your doctor only covering up the problem?

The correct treatment would decrease PCOS, allowing the body to resume natural ovulation.  The correct treatment should not be an increase of hormones along with the additional side effects.  While the medical community will continue to debate ways to treat the side effects of PCOS – why not work to eliminate it?  With your PCOS eliminated, your body can resume natural ovulation and your fertility can return to normal.  Treat the problem, not the side effects.
