ARTICLE REVIEW: HORMONAL CHANGES IN WOMEN WITH PCOS

Abstract

One of the things every woman wants to know about PCOS is that, according to the American Diabetes Association, tests have demonstrated that it is a risk factor for diabetes, and experts are researching the interaction between PCOS and diabetes, and High levels of insulin can lead to increased development of male hormones called androgens, and as a symptom of PCOS, PCOS is also correlated with weight gain, as with diabetes, but tests have shown that even people with PCOS are usually weighty. Polycystic ovary syndrome is not always diagnosed in women, but it is present in 5% - 10% of women of fertile age. Exercise may help relieve symptoms that come with the syndrome, and also reduce the risk of diabetes. Maintaining a healthy weight helps prevent heart disease, vascular disease and diabetes. The gynecologist can diagnose the syndrome and recommend treatment to prevent complications associated with PCOS such as heart disease and fertility problems. This may improve the body's response to an insulin response.
