A hormonal disorder that affects women in the reproductive age group, PCOS, or polycystic ovary syndrome, is named so because the disorder causes multiple cysts (small fluid-filled spaces) in the ovaries.
The exact cause of PCOS has not been conclusively determined, though both genetic and environmental factors are believed to be causing the disorder. Our body controls its blood sugar through release of insulin
Up to 80% of women with PCOS have a faulty blood sugar control system. As their tissues are more resistant to the actions of insulin, they have elevated insulin levels. This leads to increased production of male hormones from ovaries, resulting in irregular periods, excessive hair, and acne. Being overweight due to bad diet and sedentary lifestyle also can cause insulin resistance. So, women with PCOS can develop insulin resistance due to genetic factors or lifestyle factors or because of both. High levels of androgen can also be a result of chronic, low-level inflammation of ovaries.
Women with PCOS can develop serious health problems, especially if they are overweight: 1. Diabetes: More than 50% of women with PCOS develop diabetes by the age of 40 years 2. Gestational diabetes: Women with PCOS can develop diabetes during pregnancy.
It can further increase the risk of diabetes in later life of mother and child. 3. Heart disease: Women with PCOS are at higher risk of heart disease. 4. Depression/anxiety: PCOS can be associated with the risk of depression or anxiety.
