The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
or PCOS, as it is popularly known, is a hormonal
disorder that is commonly seen among women who are in
the reproductive age. In this health condition, many
small cysts develop in the ovaries, and it is dangerous
to ignore this because it can even lead to infertility
in women. And PCOS can also
give rise to other health issues such as problems in
menstrual cycle, blood vessels, hormones, heart and
liver, and a woman's appearance.
If one experiences symptoms such as
sudden growth of hair on the face, chest, thumbs, and
toes, mild abdominal pain, irregular periods
, heavy or light flow during periods, acne, and
excessive growth of skin in the neck area and armpits,
the person can get herself diagnosed. The doctor will go
through the medical history of the person and then get
blood tests and ultrasound done.
There are many women who try
some herbs
to solve their PCOS issues.
Certain herbs
like black cohosh, cinnamon, fennel, brewer's yeast,
juniper berries, fenugreek, angelica, fennel, and blue
cohosh help to normalize the menstrual cycle, which is a
respite for a woman with PCOS. PCOS herbal treatment
is in demand owing to the fact that herbs do not
cause any side effects and are absolutely safe for
consumption. A balanced diet is also required to help
one lose weight, reduce insulin levels and control the
PCOS condition.
However, one will be wise to switch
to holistic remedies when looking for PCOS cure.
Herbs can help, but that is mostly in controlling the
symptoms. But herbs can never
find a cure for the root causes that lead to the
formation of the cysts. Holistic remedies on the other
hand treat the root causes, and once removed, the cyst
goes away for good, never to come back
again.
