In a normal ovary, a single egg develops and is released during ovulation each month. A polycystic ovary will have many eggs that are never released. What is going on in the body? Polycystic ovarian syndrome often begins with puberty and worsens with time. The cause of PCOS has not yet been completely identified. The symptoms of PCOS are related to an excess of the hormone androgen. This hormone can cause male features such as facial hair and male-pattern baldness in women. Polycystic ovaries may be normal in size, or they may be enlarged, with smooth, thick coverings. What are the causes and risks of the disease?

Women's Health Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Basic Information Description Ovary enlargement from many small cysts. The hormonal regulation of the ovary malfunctions resulting in a reduction or absence of ovulation (the monthly release of the egg from the ovary). Women with this problem are often infertile. Frequent Signs and Symptoms Irregular menstrual bleeding resulting in periods of light flow along with heavy flow. Increased time between periods, often up to several months. Increased hair growth on the face, arms, legs and from pubic area to navel. Higher energy level. Obesity. Acne. Causes An imbalance between the pituitary gonadotropin luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), resulting in a lack of ovulation and an increased testosterone production. Risk Increases With Endometrial hypoplasia or carcinoma. Obesity. High blood pressure. Diabetes mellitus. Breast cancer. Preventive Measures Cannot be prevented at present. Women should receive appropriate cancer screening tests to reduce the risk factors of uterine cancer and breast cancer. Expected Outcome Hormone therapy can be used to decrease masculine characteristics and other hormonal therapy can be used to restore fertility. Some signs and symptoms may never disappear completely.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome... Treatment with Insulin Lowering Medications INTRODUCTION: Polycystic ovary syndrome is characterized by anovulation (irregular or absent menstrual periods) and hyperandrogenism (elevated serum testosterone and androstenedione) . Patients with this syndrome may complain of abnormal bleeding, infertility, obesity, excess hair growth, hair loss and acne. In addition to the clinical and hormonal changes associated with this condition, vaginal ultrasound shows enlarged ovaries with an increased number of small (6-10mm) follicles around the periphery (Polycystic Appearing Ovaries or PAO) . While ultrasound reveals that polycystic appearing ovaries are commonly seen in up to 20% of women in the reproductive age range, P oly C ystic O vary S yndrome (PCOS) is a estimated to affect about half as many or approximately 6-10% of women. The condition appears to have a genetic component and those effected often have both male and female relatives with adult-onset diabetes, obesity, elevated blood triglycerides, high blood pressure and female relatives with infertility, hirsutism and menstrual problems. As of yet, we do not understand why one woman who demonstrates polycystic appearing ovaries on ultrasound has regular menstrual cycles and no signs of excess androgens while another develops PCOS. One of the major biochemical features of polycystic ovary syndrome is insulin resistance accompanied by compensatory

Welcome To The Center For Research In Reproduction Primary research focuses on the understanding and treatment of disorders of reproduction with emphasis on the underlying mechanisms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In addition, a training program for MD and PhD scientists. Research interests range from transcription and feedback regulation and ovarian and testicular pathophysiology, through clinical research into the roles of hyperandrogenemia and hyperinsulinemia in anovulation and infertility.

In addition, the Center has a training program for MD and PhD scientists, including investigations into all areas of basic and clinical research in reproduction. Research interests of the Center's faculty range from basic research of transcription and feedback regulation (GnRH secreting neurons and pituitary gonadotropin cells) and ovarian and testicular pathophysiology, through clinical research into the roles of hyperandrogenemia (elevated androgen levels) and hyperinsulinemia (elevated insulin levels) in anovulation and infertility. Research on PCOS in the Center for Research in Reproduction is funded through the National Institutes of Health under the U54 Specialized Cooperative Centers Program in Reproduction Research. In addition, NIH sponsors the training programs through "Cellular and Physiologic Mechanisms in Reproduction". We invite you to browse this site for information on PCOS, current research studies open to volunteers, and the postdoctoral and fellowship training program.

Search For Debate Polycystic ovary syndrome: a new direction in treatment Warren Kidson MJA Other articles have cited this article Abstract Introduction Insulin resistance in the polycystic ovary syndrome ... More articles on Endocrinology Abstract Polycystic ovary syndrome is a diagnosis made in 5%-10% of women between late adolescence and the menopause. Patients may present with oligomenorrhoea or amenorrhoea, anovulation or infertility, hirsutism or acne. Women with the syndrome have at least seven times the risk of myocardial infarction and ischaemic heart disease of other women, and by the age of 40 years up to 40% will have type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance. Polycystic ovary syndrome is associated with insulin resistance, with consequent hyperinsulinaemia and (frequently) hyperlipidaemia and obesity. Recent research has shown that the application of diabetes management techniques aimed at reducing insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia (such as weight reduction and the administration of oral hypoglycaemic agents) can not only reverse testosterone and luteinising hormone abnormalities and infertility, but can also improve glucose, insulin and lipid profiles. The management of polycystic ovary syndrome should now include patient education and attention to diabetes and cardiovascular risk factors such as hyperlipidaemia, obesity, physical exercise, glucose intolerance, hypertension and cigarette smoking.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition in which many cysts develop from ovarian follicles that fail to rupture and release eggs. It is one of the major causes of infertility. Women who have polycystic ovary syndrome are at a greater risk of developing ovarian cancer and diabetes. In Polycystic ovary syndrome, there are many small cysts around the edge of the ovaries. It occurs frequently in women who are obese. What Causes Polycystic Ovary Syndrome? It is the result of abnormally high production of the hormone androgen by the ovaries and the adrenal glands Symptoms of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome? Some women have no symptoms. When symptoms are present, the most common symptoms are: erratic periods heavy bleeding absence of periods excess facial and body hair high blood sugar infertility male-pattern baldness excess acne Treatment Options?

Polycystic ovarian disease (PCO), also known by the name Stein-Leventhal syndrome, is a hormonal problem that causes women to have a variety of symptoms including: Irregular or no periods Acne Obesity , and Excess hair growth. Any of the above symptoms and signs may be absent with the exception of irregular or no periods. All women with PCO will have irregular or no menses. Women who have PCO do not regularly ovulate; that is, they do not release an egg every month. This is why they do not have regular periods. No one is quite sure what causes PCO. However, the ovaries of women with PCO frequently contain a number of small cysts, hence the name poly (many) cystic ovarian disease. A similar number of cysts may occur in women without PCO. Therefore, the cysts themselves do not seem to be the cause of the problem. A malfunction of the body's blood sugar control system (insulin system) is frequent in women with PCO. The result is an inadequate response to insulin (insulin resistance) that can lead to abnormally elevated blood sugar (glucose) levels. The insuliin disturbance is thought to also be the trigger for the development of symptoms such as acne and excess hair growth that is seen with PCO.
