Home Health Features Nine Signs of PCOS: Source: www.pcosupport.org Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Renee Davenport's Story From her freshman year in college, 35-year-old Renee Davenport struggled with difficult, irregular periods. Her campus ob-gyn couldn't offer a diagnosis, however, and once she went on the Pill, her cycles returned to normal and she put the problem in the back of her mind. That is, until she got married in August of 1989. Suddenly, Davenport, who had always been a size 10, ballooned up to a size 16 in less than three months. She also began experiencing other disturbing symptoms: excessive hair growth on her face, hair loss on the top of her head and periods that lasted anywhere from two weeks to several months. Davenport made the rounds between baffled doctors, surfed the Web and even thought about having a hysterectomy to stop her seemingly endless menstrual cycles. But it wasn't until she saw an endocrinologist three years later that she got a diagnosis: polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: The Facts What is it? Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (or PCOS) is a condition found in 5-10% of women between late adolescence and menopause. PCOS involves ovary enlargement and the growth of multiple tiny cysts on the ovaries themselves. A cyst is a fluid filled sack that erupts on the surface of the ovary. Symptoms The symptoms of PCOS are usually noticeable over a period of several months and are not ordinarily sudden changes. Symptoms of this condition commonly include obesity, growth of facial hair, acne, and irregular periods. However, some women with PCOS are not overweight, and some cease to have their periods at all. Women with PCOS also stop ovulating. This is what causes the irregular or nonexistent periods. Recent studies have shown that patients with PCOS have seven times the risk of heart attack and heart disease of other women and by the age of 40, nearly 40% with have type 2 diabetes or reduced sugar tolerance. These problems are mostly related to the lack of the hormones of the menstrual cycle. Treatment If fertility is not an issue, oral contraceptives (the pill) are used to suppress facial hair growth. Women with PCOS are also at risk for growths on the uterus, but this can be avoided by taking the pill. Newer treatments are also aimed at managing hormonal abnormalities through diabetes treatment techniques and attention to cardiovascular risk factors such as cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, physical exercise, and obesity.

Health Information for Teens Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome A Nutrition Guide for Teens Good nutrition is important for people with PCOS. Some teens with PCOS are normal weight, but many are overweight and have trouble losing weight because of higher levels of insulin (a hormone) in their blood. Insulin's main job is to control blood sugar, but insulin can also signal your body to store fat. This guide was created to help you understand how your body uses the food you eat and what foods work to keep your insulin level down. Knowing the right foods to eat as well as the kinds of food to limit can improve the way you feel and help you to lose weight, too. Losing even a small amount of weight can help improve PCOS symptoms. What do I need to know about insulin and carbohydrates? Insulin in your blood goes up after you eat. It goes up the most after you eat or drink something with carbohydrate in it. Carbohydrates are found in grains (bread, pasta, rice, cereal, and potatoes), vegetables, fruits, most snack foods (like chips, cookies, and candy), and drinks like soda and juice.

Study Sheds Light On The Developmental Origins Of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome New research suggests that the way baby girls develop in the womb may affect whether or not they develop polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)* as adults and http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2005-06/esfh-ssl062105.php

Public release date: 22-Jun-2005 E-mail Article Contact: Mary Rice mary@mrcommunication.org European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology Study sheds light on the developmental origins of polycystic ovarian syndrome New research suggests that the way baby girls develop in the womb may affect whether or not they develop polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)* as adults and the severity of the symptoms if they do. This major population study examines maternal factors during pregnancy and their impact on the subsequent development of PCOS, and is the first to reconcile previous conflicting research on the developmental origins of the syndrome. Dr Michael Davies, senior research fellow at the Research Centre in Reproductive Health at the University of Adelaide, Australia, told the 21st annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology today (Wednesday 22 June): "Our research suggests that, during pregnancy and birth, there are several different factors working through different pathways that are implicated in the overlapping and varying symptoms of PCOS that emerge in the offspring's later life". "Existing research has already established links between foetal growth restriction, postnatal growth and metabolic disorders such as diabetes in adulthood. The idea that events in very early life can have an enduring, complex and important influence on subsequent disease is referred to as developmental programming, and this research theme has been applied to PCOS recently. Different studies have produced conflicting evidence that shows that large babies grow to become heavier adults with polycystic ovaries, but that the most severe symptoms of PCOS are associated with growth restriction as a foetus."
