However, many women don't realize there is a disease that can lead to both these conditions. It is called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), and it affects up to 10 percent of reproductive-age women. With such high numbers of women impacted, learning more about PCOS is becoming a top priority for researchers and physicians nationwide. In fact, the National Institutes of Health recently bestowed a $5.5 million grant to researchers at the University of Virginia to study the subject.

The syndrome was originally reported by Stein and Leventhal in 1935 when they described a group of women with amenorrhea (absence of menses), infertility hirsutism (unwanted hair growth in women), and enlarged polycystic ovaries. Today, it is known that those with polycystic ovaries may have some, but not necessarily all, of the "classic" symptoms included in Stein-Leventhal syndrome.

PatientPlus articles are written for doctors and so the language can be technical. However, some people find that they add depth to the articles found in the other sections of this website which are written for non-medical people. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Synonym = Stein Leventhal Syndrome The cause of this common, poorly-understood syndrome is uncertain. It causes menstrual dysfunction and signs of androgen excess. Initially classed as a primary ovarian dysfunction, it is now thought to reflect a more systemic disturbance in the metabolism of sex hormones. The condition is heterogeneous; sufferers may have classical clinical features but biochemically normal androgen levels. Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia are often present. Physiological hormonal cycling is disrupted and the ovaries become enlarged by multiple follicles which have failed to rupture. The theca stroma cells surrounding the arrested follicles are markedly hyperplastic. However, the underlying endocrine disturbance can exist in the absence of polycystic ovaries. Current theories indicate that supra normal anterior-pituitary LH secretion leads to over stimulation of the ovarian theca cells, causing excessive androgen production (predominantly testosterone and androstenedione). Low FSH levels mean that ovarian granulosa cells fail to adequately convert these androgens into oestrogens, leading to ovulatory impairment and the development of unruptured cysts. Associated hyperinsulinaemia causes dyslipidaemia and increased plasminogen activation, thought to increase the risk of intravascular thrombosis. However, recent research has cast doubt on the presence of increased cardiovascular risk among sufferers of the syndrome once the effect of diabetes and obesity have been excluded.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome I've been diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and I'm having trouble getting information, advice and treatment. My doctor says there's no treatment/medication available. I have excess hair on my face, arms and stomach. I've gained 16kg (2 and a half stone) in the past 18 months. I'm in touch with a lot of people in the UK and the US who are being prescribed drugs which are helping them immensely. Are some doctors not aware of this syndrome? Is it wise for me to get a second opinion or ask to see a specialist? Tracy Dr Trisha Macnair responds I'm sorry to hear you're getting so little help when, despite what your doctor says, there are actually a lot of treatments which can help in PCOS (sometimes known as Stein-Leventhal syndrome or polycystic ovary disease). You may wish to get a second opinion from another doctor who may want to refer you to a specialist. The condition often goes undiagnosed PCOS affects up to ten per cent of women, but many don't realise they have it. Typical symptoms include:

DDD ddd Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) BACK TO Ovarian Cyst Main Section In 1935 Drs. Stein and Levinthal described a syndrome in which women suffered irregular, usually rare, periods, hirsutism (hair growth), and experienced varying degrees of infertility. Today we call it Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). It's most general description is a syndrome in which there is too much male-type (androgen) hormone produced by the ovaries (and sometimes the adrenal glands) with associated disruption of the normal hormonal cycle. It's exact cause is unknown, but it seems to be hereditary. Almost one of twenty women of reproductive age have it, and it is one of the most common causes of infertility. The most simplistic thinking about it in the past was the concept of ovulation failure: certain areas of the ovarian capsule, for some reason, had trouble releasing an egg; with this, the rest of the cycle got hung up with precursor hormones, like testosterone, building up. Ovarian wedge resection , a surgical procedure in which a portion of the ovarian capsule was cut out, was the standard treatment until the invention of birth control pills which overrode the entire hormonal cycle and with it, any abnormalities. Today, the entire cycle is overridden with birth control pills until a woman is ready for

PCOS Treatment Back to Women's Health Center The Basics of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disturbance in women of reproductive age; it affects an estimated 5 to 10 percent of females. PCOS, also called Stein-Leventhal Syndrome after the doctors who first characterized it in the 1930s, is a cause of infertility. It is also now associated with long-term risks of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. While the biochemical imbalances that cause symptoms are becoming better understood, the trigger for PCOS is unknown. Researchers suspect that genetic predisposition plays a role. One recent study at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York found a possible connection between a gene that helps the body use insulin and PCOS. Other studies have found that excess insulin production stimulates testosterone production and leads to insulin resistance, which is a precursor to type II diabetes. Other studies have noted excess insulin production in the presence of insulin resistance. The most visible symptoms of PCOS stem from excessive levels of androgens, such as testosterone, which in women are produced in the ovaries, adrenal glands and fat cells. Testosterone can be converted to a more powerful androgen, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), in areas that affect the skin and hair. Even though androgens are found in both men and women, they are usually present at much higher concentrations in men and are an important factor in male traits and reproductive activity. Androgens include testosterone, DHT and androstenedione. Other hormones can be converted into testosterone or DHT, including dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), DHEA sulfate and estradiol, which are also considered androgens.

PCOS Quiz Back to Women's Health Center Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Treatment Because the primary cause of PCOS is unknown, treatment is presently directed at the symptoms of the disorder. For some women, the most bothersome symptom is hirsutism (excess facial and/or body hair, often dark and coarse). This symptom, as well as acne and oily skin, stems from overproduction of androgens. For women with such symptoms, spironolactone (Aldactone or Spironol) may be prescribed. The drug, a diuretic, has few side effects, and at high doses can clear oily skin and make unwanted hair finer (electrolysis or laser processes can remove hair permanently). It works by blocking the action of testosterone at the hair cell level. Flutamide (Eulexin) is similar to spironolactone, but has potentially severe side effects. If you are trying to conceive, however, an anti-androgen medication cannot be used because it can cross the placenta and cause defects in a male fetus. Bear in mind that it can take up to nine months to see effects on hair growth, and a year to achieve peak effect. The hair will still be there, but will generally grow more slowly and will be lighter and finer. Electrolysis or repeated laser treatments are the only ways to get rid of the already present hair for extended periods or permanently.

Specialized Centers Headlines: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (also referred to as Stein-Leventhal syndrome, polycystic ovarian disease or hyperandrogenic chronic anovulation) is an endocrine disorder found in 5%-10% women. Causes No one knows the exact cause of PCOS, but studies are looking at whether it is caused by genetics. Also, because many women with PCOS also have diabetes, studies are examining the relationship between PCOS and the body’s ability to produce insulin. There is a lot of evidence that high levels of insulin contribute to increased production of androgen, which worsens the symptoms of PCOS. Lastly, the medication valproate, used to treat seizures may cause or worsen the symptoms of PCOS. Switching medications seems to help the condition. Estrogen and progesterone are the female hormones produced by the ovaries that cause monthly menstrual cycles to occur. However, a third hormone, testosterone, also is produced by the ovaries, usually in small amounts. Testosterone is in a broad class of hormones called androgens, and it is the dominant sex hormone in men.

The ovaries produce many small follicles, which contain eggs, but most often the eggs do not mature and are not released causing abnormal menstrual cycles. The cause of PCO is not entirely understood but appears to be related to insulin resistance. Treatment includes weight loss, hormonal therapy, and possibly newer insulin sensitizers. Ovulation induction is often needed in order to conceive, particularly if the menstrual cycles are long. Some of the long term risks include endometrial cancer if untreated, adult onset diabetes, lipid abnormalities and gestational diabetes (diabetes in pregnancy).
