anyone have PCOS anyone no of any treatments why is it hard to get treated for it
Could you explain a bit more, what it is? I never heard of it.
hahah Ines. I asked Carly that a few weeks ago too. I had never heard of it and she was talking about it. I am not quite sure of the facts so I'll let her tell you so you'll get all the info right.
*sexy*
polycystic ovarian syndrome is when systs form on the surface of the ovaries, hence the term polycystic, as in, multiple systs. This causes the hormone levels to become eratic as, due to the systs, the woman often does not ovulate, i.e. produce eggs, and therefore has problems with fertility. also it can cause her to gain weight. There is a treatment for it called chlomid. it doesn't break up the systs, but it stimulates ovulation and pretty much brings the hormones back down to a normal level, however, doctors will usually only prescribe chlomid if the woman is actively trying to conceive. what I'd advise though Carly, is that you go and see your GP,and tell him that you know of this drug, and that the condition is causing you a lot of problems. often health authorities won't fund the cost of Chlomid though because it is considered to be a fertility drug, so you may have to be prepared to go private and pay for it.
Well this is better than nothing, and I wish that Carlie will feel better soon, so, I think, it is worth a try.
what are the symptoms of poly cystic ovarian syndrom.
weight gane, iregular periods, pains in the stomach, and facial hair.
Priscy, first of all, you either don't get your period, or get them very heavily with a lot of bleeding. There can also be severe abdominal pain. Oftentimes, women with PCOS are very heavy, and have male-pattern hair growth. I'm sure there are other symptoms, but I can't remember them now... look it up on the interent, there's plenty of information.

Another common symptom is heavy acne. It also may not be systs on the ovaries, but instead the eggs that are suppose to be ovulated turning into systs themselves. After all, a woman doesn't produce eggs, she has in her body from early on all the eggs she will ever need, but instead the egg simply doesn't mature with PCO, therefore it isn't ovulated. Another concern, and very good reason to get treated ASAP is that if a woman doesn't have her period at least every 60 days she runs a higher risk of uteran cancer. Chlomidine isn't the only treatment. Another possibility is birth control; which won't force ovulation, but it will keep hormones better balanced and allow for regular periods, and, progesterone pills to cause onset of the period at appropriate intervols.
zipy the periods are irregular right? anyway, when did you first started with that?
Irregular periods is not necessarily PCO Symdrome. It could also be extreme blockage, and countless other things; including a bad diet, to much or to little excercise and/or to much stress. LOL, had to learn about these things the hard way. Been down this road, and do have PCO Symdrome.
i had my first period just a couple of months before my 9th birthday but no one wanted to treat me because they said i was too young
lol
Symptoms of Polysystic ovaries are excruciatingly painful stomach cramps, hair growing around your naval or belly button, uncontrollable crying when your hormones go through the roof, highly irregular periods of up to three months before you have a tremendously heavy period and an incredibly spotty face. My GP reccomended a Glycaemic Index diet or some medication which I think can also be used to treat diabetes. I suspected I had that too, because I've always had these dips in energy where one minute I'm awake, the next minute, I've zonked and can't wake myself up again. That'lll happen in this sort of environment, a warm room like where I'm sitting now at home and I'm not doing anything for less than five minutes.
i have periods every other month. for ex. I would have one in january and then the next one on march and than in may and so on.
good for me because less of it means less cramps. im glad!
Maybe it's good for you if the periods aren't extremely heavy!
Don't forget, though, polycystic ovarian syndrome is still a pathology. It might now be a good thing that your periods aren't very heavy, but keep in mind that this could eventually have a negative effect on your fertility, and might change so as to cause you a lot of pain and inconvenience. So, while right now it's not that big a deal and perhaps even an advantage, if there's something you can do about it, or if our doctor recommends some sort of treatment, I'd really consider that!
