In a polycystic
disease
, a woman develops a number of small cysts in
her ovaries. The disease is better known in the medical
world as polycystic ovarian syndrome or PCOS, and it is
quite common among women who are in their reproductive
age. The symptoms for the polycystic
disease though differ from one woman to another, and
they can include health issues like obesity, pain in the
pelvic area, insulin resistance, acne, sleep apnea,
growth of excess hair, growth of extra skin in the
armpit and neck area, irregular periods, and there can
be other problems as well.
It is advisable to see the
doctor as soon as you start experiencing these symptoms.
But do take note of the fact that in some cases, there
might be no symptoms at all. The doctor will go through
your medical history, perform certain tests such as
blood tests and an ultrasound exam for measuring the
size and understanding the nature and type of the
cysts.
You can help yourself by
maintaining a balanced PCOS diet
, excluding food high on
carbohydrates and calories. It is advisable to avoid
food that contain saturated and trans-fats. In stead of
sugar, one can have dates and honey. It is good to have
lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Apart from food,
one also needs to pay attention to regular exercising.
The idea is to shed excess weight.
It will be wise to opt for holistic
remedies instead of the conventional treatments when you
are looking for a PCOS cure. Holistic remedies, unlike
the conventional and natural treatments go to the root
of the problem and treat the contributing factors. This
is why holistic remedies are so successful, as opposed
to the other remedies that just treat the
symptoms.
