PCOS stands for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. This will not immediately light up everyone, but it literally means that there are several (poly) fluid blisters (cysts) in the ovary (ovary). The direct consequences for your health are not too bad, but PCOS is often a problem when you want to have children. It is not entirely clear how the fluid blisters that cause PCOS form. It is probably a combination of hormonal factors. Women who have PCOS have been found to have increased or decreased levels of a number of hormones: Too much LH (luteinizing hormone): the hormone that works up ovulation; Too much insulin: the hormone that regulates blood sugar levels; Too much of the sex hormone testosterone; Too little FSH (follicle stimulating hormone); the hormone that stimulates the maturation of the egg sacs.

Maturation
-
All these increases and decreases disrupt the maturation of the ovules and create several small fluid-filled blisters in the ovary. The result: ovulation often does not occur and the menstrual cycle becomes irregular or even disappears completely. PCOS reduces fertility making it more difficult to conceive. In addition, it can cause excess hair, acne and obesity in the short term. In the long term, PCOS can contribute to diabetes, cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure. There is also an increased risk of cancer of the endometrium.

Family mischief

Consequences
-
The visible consequences of PCOS are therefore excess hair, acne and overweight. To be able to make the diagnosis with certainty, the value of the hormones is measured with a blood test. Ultrasound examination can be used to check the ovaries for the presence of fluid blisters. More than twelve is a bad sign.
Treatment
-
Although it is not entirely clear how PCOS develops, the syndrome can be treated well. Losing weight, eating healthy and exercising are - as always - the magic words. For the treatment of acne there are medicines and excessive hair means epilation, waxing or permanent removal. If you do not have a period, it is wise to induce bleeding at least four times a year to shed the lining of the uterus. This reduces the risk of endometrial cancer. Usually this can simply be done with the help of the pill, but do discuss it with your doctor.

Pregnant
-
Real problems arise when someone with PCOS wants to get pregnant. In addition to losing weight, other treatments have been invented for this. These do not so much fight the fluid blisters, but stimulate the monthly ovulation: Swallowing clomiphene citrate tablets for 4 to 5 days after a menstrual period (chance of ovulation: 80 percent, chance of pregnancy: more than 50 percent. Side effects: small chance of mood changes) Gonadotropin injections with a follicle-stimulating hormone (chance of ovulation: 90 percent, chance of pregnancy: 50 percent. Increased chance of having multiple births. This treatment always follows an ultrasound scan) Laparoscopic electrocoagulation of the ovaries (keyhole surgery under anesthesia in which small holes are burned in the ovaries. This changes the production of the hormones and ovulation can occur. The chance of pregnancy is lower than with the tablets and injections. Side effects: chance of adhesions in the ovaries) Metformin tablets (only recently discovered as a remedy for the effects of PCOS and probably especially suitable for women with overweight or too high insulin levels. Chance of ovulation and pregnancy: unknown. Side effects: gastrointestinal complaints) Don't underestimate the impact of PCOS on your life if you're trying to conceive. Losing weight is tough and tablets, injections and hospital visits will not leave you in cold clothes. Also remember that treatments cannot work and that it can be quite emotionally tough. Talking about it with fellow sufferers or a professional is not an unnecessary luxury.
