Why does PCOS occur?
Many women, faced with scleropolycystosis of the ovaries, do not know what it is and from what this disease appears. The main cause of this pathology in women is an overabundance in the body of male sex hormones - androgens . In addition, when studying other causes of development of pathology, it was found that sensitivity to insulin is sharply reduced. Later it was revealed that these two symptoms are interrelated, and an increase in the blood of women in the insulin content, in turn, leads to an enhanced synthesis of androgens.
It is male sex hormones that lead to a thickening of the outer wall of the ovaries. Later, the thickened membrane makes it difficult for the egg to enter the abdominal cavity, thereby interfering with the ovulation process.
Proceeding from the foregoing, we can distinguish 3 main causes of scleropolyakistosis of the ovaries:
- hereditary predisposition;
- diabetes;
- an increase in body weight, which subsequently leads to an increase in insulin production.
How is PCOS treated?
The main method of treatment of PCOS is laparoscopy , after which pregnancy often occurs. During this operation, the affected part of the ovary is removed. In this case, the wedge-shaped part of it is excised, which is directly responsible for the synthesis of male sex hormones. In addition, this method of treatment can be used in the presence of concomitant diseases, such as adhesions and obstruction of the fallopian tubes.
Thus, pregnancy with scleropolyakistosis of the ovaries is possible, and comes just six months after its treatment. In case if within 1 year after the therapy of pathology the woman has not managed to get pregnant, the doctors recommend ECO as an alternative to the classic conception of the baby.
