PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) guide

POLY CYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME (PCOS)

In 1935, the well-known scientists

–Stein

And

–Leventhal

Were the first to diagnose poly cystic ovary syndrome as they discovered that there are some symptoms or medical features related to prevention of ovulation process. And also 

appearance of excess facial hair in females.

They collected all the symptoms related to this disease and help in diagnosing poly cystic ovary syndrome.

In the last article we got to know what is PCOS is so now let's know about its symptoms   and features

.

What are those symptoms or feature that appear on the body of female affected by poly cystic ovary syndrome?!

I'll do my best to provide you with all the symptoms that every female should be aware of it, and hence if feeling any of it. She have to make sure of asking for the medical help as soon as possible.

There are so many symptoms / features for this disease and that's why it called syndrome:

The main known are:-

1) Irregular Menstrual cycle – menstrual cycle more than 1 ½ months

2) Unwanted facial hair growth

3) Increase in the total body weight.

4) changes and unorganized pattern of period with the meaning that it may delay or become early.

5) Delaying of pregnancy or maybe if not treated and ignored it might in some cases lead 

to infertility (not getting pregnant)

6)  Increasing in the blood pressure although the woman isn't a high blood pressure patient, 

but this is because of the poly cystic ovary syndrome itself.

7) In some cases, female might feel pain in the very lower part of the abdomen where the 

both ovaries located.

8) Increase the appearance of facial acnes even in fully matured women.

9) increasing the insulin hormone level in the blood although the female is not a diabetic patient.

10) increasing in blood glucose level although increasing the insulin level too and this is not normal even in diabetes mellitus.

11) increase in the androgen/ free testosterone level in the female's , as we know the androgen are the male sex hormone so increasing it in the females' body is a sign for abnormal activity in the body.

Not every women diseased by poly cystic ovary syndrome will face the same problems or 

have the same symptoms as it vary in type and degree from patient to another according to many factors like: age, weight, status of disease and more.

Any of this features alone don't mean that you are a poly cystic ovary syndrome patient but as it called syndrome so you have to face more than two of these symptoms and also the symptoms aren’t the only thing to assure being diseased but there are so many other diagnostic tests and checks that doctor have to do in order to make sure of being diseased and also to know that main cause of it and hence treat it in the best way, allowing you to not face any further problem in the future.

Every female who fell up normality about her period and ovulation should never hesitate to seek for medical help and treatment.
