PCOS and Ovulatory Conditions Webinar
In this fertility webinar, we will deep dive into all the treatment options, diet strategies and supplements that can get great results in PCOS.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, most commonly referred to as PCOS, is a complex condition in which there are clusters of numerous small-sized cysts developed in the ovaries. It is generally accompanied by an imbalance of reproductive hormones. Women with PCOS produce a slightly greater amount of male hormones called androgens and this imbalance can lead to hormonal imbalances that cause conditions like amenorrhea which is complete absence of menstrual periods, hirsutism in which there is excess and abnormal growth of hair on a woman’s face and body, and enlarged ovaries with multiple cysts.
Typical signs of PCOS include:
- Irregular cycles
- Dark hair growth on the chin, face, chest (known as hirsutism)
- Dark hair growth on the chin, face, chest (known as hirsutism)
- High Insulin levels
- High LH (luteinising hormone) >10 IU/L
- LH levels 2- 2.5 x higher than FSH at the beginning of the menstrual cycle
