One of the ten women is affected by the disease; ‘Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome’ PCOS. The silence circle is common among such women viewing the problem as an awareness issue. Initially, most people live with it confused. Later they discover it’s too tyred-down-the-road after the condition becomes serious enough. The noticeable symptoms are typically irregularity of cycles, infertility, obesity, skin problems, or endocrine disorders such as stress and depression. Thus recognition and treatment of the signs in good time are important so that one does not jeopardize long-term physical health.
Some think that if you haven’t had a period, you have a clear picture that it’s PCOS. Other signs can be much more subtle, including skin health, hair growth, and energy levels. But keeping records may help you track the symptoms such that your doctor can put the pieces together later.
Most women with PCOS have some degree of insulin resistance. That becomes crucial because an anti-inflammatory diet rich in greens, berries, nuts, and fatty fish reduces inflammation and improves insulin sensitivity. At the same time, avoid high carbohydrates and processed foods so you would not be causing an increase in insulin levels.
Cortisol levels are increased with stress and therefore worsens PCOS, causing hormonal dysregulation and adding another layer of imbalance. Yoga, deep breathing and mindfulness, or any practice that helps one get over stress while improving overall livelihood will be ideal.
Very good fats like avocado, olive oil, nuts, etc. are good for balancing and preventing weight gain due to PCOS. Make it a point to always include this category in your diet.
These are low impact: walking, swimming, or yoga. These activities are well known for improving insulin sensitivity, but maintaining balanced hormone levels during exercise without excess stress is through low impact movement.
PCOS will really have an effect on your mind. If you find yourself needing to deal with those horrible emotions, then get yourself to a therapist or counselor because emotional health is still part of physical health.
Immediate gestation by a gynecologist or endocrinologist protects patients whole from worsening of conditions, and controls symptoms, preventing complications in diabetes and heart diseases. Supplementation of vitamin D, where necessary, will further contribute to the maintenance of the hormonal balance.
Women can not only know what it takes to make positive dietary or lifestyle changes, but they can also find support from health professionals guiding them on how to achieve their goals and lead a healthier life in general.
