Polycystic ovary – a disease of the female reproductive system that requires mandatory treatment. Lack of therapy leads to ovulation disorders and infertility. In addition, this disease negatively affects a woman's hormonal background and her appearance. Laparoscopic ovarian surgery for polycystic ovary solves the problem, but in some cases positive dynamics can be achieved with conservative treatment.
The main cause of the disease is a woman's hormonal background failure, it can be triggered by a wide variety of factors:
- reduced tissue sensitivity to insulin, which provokes increased production of female hormones and the formation of multiple follicles in the ovaries;
- chronic ovarian pathologies;
- problems in the work of the cortical layer of the adrenal glands, in particular – violation of the synthesis of the main enzyme.
The causes of polycystic ovaries also lie in psycho-emotional disorders – stress, sudden and sharp climate change, frequent irritations, depression.
The disease is diagnosed on the basis of an analysis of symptoms, although the experts make a final verdict only after a full examination of the patient.
- disruption of the menstrual cycle – bleeding may be completely absent or too long;
- pain syndrome with localization in the area of the lower abdomen, lower back and groin – first periodic, then chronic;
- change in the type of skin and hair – sebaceous glands begin to work more;
- hair appears on the face and body – this is evidence of excessive production of male androgen hormones;
- absence of conception during constant unprotected intercourse;
- the appearance of acne on the face.
This disease can be diagnosed at different ages. How to treat polycystic ovary syndrome in teenage girls, a pediatric gynecologist will tell you, who will draw up a treatment plan and give recommendations for further therapy to ensure the normal functioning of the reproductive system.
It will not be possible to completely get rid of the problem, but it is quite possible to support the body by taking medicines. First of all, drug treatment is prescribed, which includes:
Selection of such means is carried out individually, because it will be necessary to replace the missing hormone and reduce the production of the present one excessively.
It is advisable to take them, in this way it is possible to normalize the sensitivity of tissues to insulin and reduce its concentration in the blood.
They are needed to support the immune system. Vitamins of group B have a positive effect on the functionality of the reproductive system.
Treatment of polycystic ovaries differs in duration – not less than six months. If positive dynamics are not noted during the specified period, the gynecologist may refer the patient to surgical intervention. But often conservative appointments solve the problem. Often conception occurs – even multifollicular polycystic ovaries and pregnancy are completely compatible.
Before starting drug treatment, a woman needs to "cause" menstruation – it is necessary only if the symptom of the pathology is a long-term absence of blood discharge. Stimulation of ovulation in polycystic ovaries – this is the initial stage of long-term treatment.
Treatment should be comprehensive. It is important to adjust your lifestyle – for example, change the diet. Excess weight has a negative effect not only on a woman's appearance, but also on the functioning of the body's systems. It is not surprising that, according to statistics, it is women with excess weight who turn to a gynecologist with characteristic symptoms. Therefore, the diet for polycystic ovaries should be mandatory – eating healthy food, avoiding alcohol, sweets and pastries. So the functionality of the reproductive system will be restored.
Some women think that if the pathology is detected at the moment when the issue of childbearing is no longer there, then there is no need to undergo specific treatment. But doctors insist that it is necessary to be under the control of specialists and it is very important to fulfill all their appointments.
