PCOS Managing and Treating Irregular Periods

  • According to most gynecologists, the average
    menstrual cycle (period) for women lasts
    approximately 5 days and appears every 28 days. 
    However, they admit that they regularly see many
    women whose periods come every 35 days and last
    for 7-8 days.  Some of these women even skip
    months!  These women are said to have irregular
    periods.  There are a few causes for this, one of
    which is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).  This
    , the causes, symptoms, and treatment options are
    discussed below.

What is PCOS
  • Polycystic ovarian syndrome, commonly referred to
    as PCOS, occurs in women who have irregular
    hormone levels.  They produce much higher levels
    of testosterone and other male hormones.  This
    creates a hormonal imbalance which causes them to
    have inconsistent periods (periods which come
    after 30 days) or skip months in between
    periods.  Because women need to have regular and
    sufficient periods to get pregnant, women with
    PCOS have a harder time getting and staying
    pregnant.
  • PCOS affects women aged 15-44.  At least 2.2 and
    up to 26.7 of women in this age group have this
    hormonal imbalance.

What causes PCOS?
  • The exact causes of PCOS are not completely known
    or understood.  However, since these women
    produce higher than normal levels of all male
    hormones, including testosterone, doctors believe
    that this factor prevents their bodies from
    making adequate levels of the female hormones
    necessary to produce healthy eggs and ovulate
    regularly.
  • Some proven causes of PCOS are genetic.  However,
    diabetes and inflammation of organs and joints
    (especially those in the reproductive tract) are
    thought to be major trigger factors, as is the
    excessive production of the male hormone
    androgen.
