PCOS and Infertility and The String Of Pearls

  

If you've been around infertility for any length of time, I think you've heard PCOS and infertility mentioned in the same sentence. SOP has been identified as one of the leading causes of infertility in women. Indeed, PCOS PCOS means. This can occur in approximately 10% of women. Many women with PCOS do not know they have it, less than 25% of those who are considered to have been diagnosed.
   The researchers are inclined to believe that there are unusually high levels of insulin produced in some women, and this abundance is counteracted by the body to produce higher levels of male hormone androgen. In fact, the relationship between PCOS and infertility not completely understood. But in any case, the issue is complicated because women with PCOS are insulin resistant, which causes problems with diabetes.
   Here is what is known. When a woman feels menstruation, several follicles that develop in the ovaries. Each follicle has an egg, which is the term high "egg" dollar. During menstruation, one follicle persist and generate an egg is available for ovulation. Specifically, the egg matures and LH levels rise, forcing egg bust out of the follicle. This is the essence of ovulation.
   However, when a woman has PCOS, things are a little different. It does not usually generate enough female hormones to achieve completely. The key is that the follicles do not produce mature eggs. Alternatively, some follicles may become cysts in place. When this happens, it can be seen on ultrasound. It looks like a string of pearls in the ovary, with "pearls" are follicles that have not developed. Typically, each has a number of ovarian cysts on the outside thereof. Now when ovulation does not occur, progesterone necessary to thicken the uterine wall does not occur. Therefore, it is easy to see the relationship between PCOS and infertility, the uterus is not ready to receive a fertilized egg even if one was available.
   It is believed that some aspects of PCOS and infertility can worsen over time. For example, irregular menstrual cycles could lead to the absence of menstruation is. PCOS and infertility can even diversify into other seemingly bizarre symptoms. You can see an increase in acne or undergo pelvic pain. Some women have to cope with the growth of hair on the chest, face, and even the back. Besides the hair they do not want the hair of the head can become so thin. Other women with PCOS and infertility weight gain and, as noted, other high insulin treated leads to diabetes type II.
   There are some recommended for women with PCOS and infertility interventions. Some women may see an improvement with only a steady weight loss. Sometimes it is sufficient to adjust the hormonal balances. When insulin is a great player, some doctors recommend medications such as metformin. It is designed to improve the way the body of the woman making insulin. This medicine is not much work in the levels of blood sugar, but rather impacts levels of insulin.
   I know that everyone is crazy about pharmaceuticals, but there is another type of medication that will mention women with PCOS and infertility. Clomid is used to effectively block estrogen in the brain and tricks the body into thinking that estrogen levels are too low. Consequently, the body responds by creating more FSH and LH. These trigger ovulation. However, full disclosure compels me to note that approximately 35% or more women get pregnant using, so there are clearly other issues.
   One last comment for PCOS and infertility that I will mention is in vitro fertilization (IVF) and in vitro maturation (IVM). With IVF, as you know, mature eggs are fertilized and placed in the uterus of women. Less known is IVM, immature eggs that are taken by women in the stage of onset of menstruation. The eggs then mature in a lab so they can be fertilized at the time.
