Four ways for polycystic ovary syndrome to affect women's confidence and stay away from troubles

We must pay attention to the emergence of polycystic ovary syndrome, especially its serious harm to women, and we need to be clear about the factors that lead to the disease, and take preventive measures.

Causes of polycystic ovary syndrome

1. Family genetic factors: according to the high clustering of families shown by the occurrence of polycystic ovary syndrome, genetic factors are a major factor in its etiology. Many polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are related to genetic abnormalities, and many PCOS have chromosomal abnormalities, which are difficult to avoid and can only be detected and treated early.

2. Long term mental stress, medication, and disease effects: Due to mental stress, medication, and some diseases affecting abnormal regulation of the hypothalamic pituitary ovarian axis, excessive production of androgens by ovarian stromal and thecal cells, ovarian hyperandrogenism inhibits follicle maturation, and polycystic ovary syndrome such as amenorrhea and hirsutism

3. Obese and hyperinsulinemic patients: Some patients with polycystic ovary syndrome, especially obese patients, can exhibit hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance, indicating insulin resistance. There are many reasons for insulin resistance. In most cases, it is an obstacle in the information transmission system after the insulin receptor, and there is also a defect in the insulin receptor.

4. Abnormal adrenal function: 50% of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome have abnormal adrenal cortex function, excessive secretion of androgens by adrenal cortex, and symptoms such as anovulation. Diseases that cause abnormal adrenal cortical function mainly include adrenal tumors, adrenal cortical hyperplasia, etc.

Hazards of polycystic ovary syndrome

1. Secondary infertility: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is often characterized by anovulatory infertility, which is clearly manifested as amenorrhea. The reason is that the wall of the ovarian sac is too thick, and the egg cannot be expelled and cannot combine with sperm, which is the main cause of female infertility.

2. Causing menstrual abnormalities: mainly including sparse or amenorrhea (amenorrhea accounts for 1/3, sparse menstruation accounts for 90%), and some patients may also experience continuous menstrual bleeding, leading to various secondary diseases such as anemia.

3. Affects appearance: Patients often develop acne (pimples) on the face, which can cause permanent scars and pockmarks on the lower part of the face after pus discharge. If not treated early, it will not be possible to restore their appearance even after being cured in the future.
