What is PCOS?

 Picture
​Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a female hormonal condition that affects about 5 million women in the United States. With this condition, the normal hormonal processes are disrupted and women may not ovulate (release an egg from the ovary) consistently every month. Also, testosterone production may increase.  As a result, some women develop pearl-like "cysts" on the ovaries. These are actually immature egg follicles that are unable to be released due to hormone abnormalities, not true "cysts."  This disease process affects multiple aspects of women's health and results in several problems listed below.

PCOS Symptoms:
  • Irregular monthly cycles and missed menstrual periods
  • Infertility or problems becoming pregnant
  • Excess testosterone production
  • Increased hair growth (hirsutism)
  • Acne
  • Insulin resistance and diabetes
  • Increased appetite and weight gain
What causes PCOS? 
The exact cause of PCOS is unknown. Excess body weight is sometimes correlated with PCOS, however, not everyone who has PCOS is overweight.

Reduce symptoms and improve fertility
Unfortunately, many women with PCOS have trouble conceiving. However, that doesn't mean you can't become pregnant if you have PCOS! You can take action now to regulate your hormones and promote fertility immediately.

  • Take the best supplements. Ovasitol is a product that is scientifically shown to regulate menstrual cycles and improve egg quality.
  • Regulate your sleep. Sleep 7-8 hours every night. Keep your sleep schedule consistent. 
  • Get fresh air. Vitamin D is the sunshine vitamin and many people are deficient. We need at least 15-20 minutes of direct contact with sunlight every day to get enough vitamin D. Supplements help, but absorption from sunlight is best.
