                                  PCOS




http://www.fitango.com/categories.php?id=187
Overview
   Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) happens when a
   woman's ovaries or adrenal glands produce more
   male hormones than normal. One result is that
   cysts (fluid-filled sacs) develop on the ovaries.
   Women who are obese are more likely to have
   polycystic ovary syndrome.

Diagnosis
   Your health care provider will take a medical
   history and do a pelvic exam to feel for cysts on
   your ovaries. He or she may also do a vaginal
   ultrasound and recommend blood tests to
   measure hormone levels.
   Other tests may include measuring levels of
   insulin, glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides.

Treatment
   Medicines can help control the symptoms. Birth
   control pills help women have normal periods,
   reduce male hormone levels, and clear acne. Other
   medicines can reduce hair growth and control
   blood pressure and cholesterol. There is no cure.

Risks
   Women with PCOS are at higher risk of diabetes,
   metabolic syndrome, heart disease, and high blood
   pressure.
