Symptoms of PCOS
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common hormone imbalance in pre-menopausal women. Symptoms usually start during the teenage years. It is estimated that 1 out of 10 young women suffer from PCOS.
PCOS symptoms can be divided into 3 categories:
- Excess androgens: acne, hirsutism, unwanted hair loss
- Ovarian dysfunction: irregular menses, loss of menses, infertility, cysts in ovaries on ultrasound
- Metabolic: weight gain, pre-diabetes (high blood sugar)
BCP might not be right for you
The conventional treatment for PCOS is birth control pills which are drugs. Like most drugs, BCP can have undesirable side-effects. BCP is notorious for worsening weight gain, which is the last thing PCOS women need since many of them already struggle with weight. On top of that, BCP can increase the risk of blood clots which can present as deep venous thrombosis (DVT), stroke, heart attack, or even pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lung). As a result, many women cannot tolerate BCP and just suffer through their PCOS symptoms.
We can help
If you are suffering from PCOS, it is important to get the help you need. Hormone imbalances associated with PCOS set you up for weight gain and insulin resistance. This insulin resistance increases your risk of pre-diabetes, gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy) as well as diabetes later on in life. It is important to get the help that you need to ensure a healthy pregnancy and to protect your health now and long-term.
