Polycystic Ovary Disease

It is the most common hormone disease in women. The disease caused by excessive production of androgens in the ovaries is called polycystic ovary syndrome. When the level of androgens in the blood increases, hair growth, lubrication and acne formation may increase on the skin of the person. It can lead to hair loss and even infertility.

Diagnosis

Ovaries and uterus are examined in detail by vaginal ultrasonography. In order to examine the levels of hormones in the blood, a blood test is done on the 3rd day of menstruation. In individuals with the disease, especially as a result of the Hormone test, if the FSH and LH hormone levels regulating the ovulation cycle are out of normal (low estrogen, high testosterone), the disease is diagnosed.

Treatment

With the specially prepared nutrition program, the insulin resistance is eliminated and the patient loses weight. Drug treatment is started to lower the level of male hormone in the blood. Birth control pills can be used to treat menstrual irregularity. Vitamin and mineral supplements or hair removal technology can be used for hair and skin problems.
