polycystic ovarian syndrome By Barbara Mallari, RN, BSN, PHN Images (click to view larger image) Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a disorder that results in abnormal hormone levels in a woman. In a normal ovary, a single egg develops and is released during ovulation each month. A polycystic ovary will have many eggs that are never released. What is going on in the body? Polycystic ovarian syndrome often begins with puberty and worsens with time. The cause of PCOS has not yet been completely identified. The symptoms of PCOS are related to an excess of the hormone androgen. This hormone can cause male features such as facial hair and male-pattern baldness in women. Polycystic ovaries may be normal in size, or they may be enlarged, with smooth, thick coverings. What are the signs and symptoms of the disease? The symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome include: acne amenorrhea , or the lack of menstruation excess body hair infertility obesity scanty or irregular menstruation The woman may have several ovarian cysts , or fluid-filled sacs.

Home Search Sitemap Contact ... Back News Releases October 15, 1997 Patients with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Sought for Research at NIH Researchers at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) are recruiting women with polycystic ovarian syndrome for a new treatment for the infertility associated with that condition. The NICHD study is seeking women who have not responded to the conventional therapy for the condition, treatment with the fertility drug clomiphene citrate. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a condition in which women may have acne, increased facial and body hair growth, irregular menstrual cycles, and difficulty in getting pregnant. From 5 to 10 percent of American women have the condition. About 50 percent of women with PCOS are obese; many also are at increased risk of having recurrent miscarriage, heart disease and diabetes. Because the syndrome was originally described by Drs. Stein and Leventhal, PCOS was once known as Stein-Leventhal Syndrome. The NICHD study is recruiting women between the ages of 18 and 39 who have PCOS and who are interested in getting pregnant. Because women with PCOS have high levels of androgens (male hormones) circulating in their blood, NICHD scientists hypothesize that treating them with flutamide, a drug that blocks androgens, may allow them to ovulate. Before being accepted in the study, volunteers will receive a comprehensive gynecologic and endocrinologic evaluation from physicians and the NIH clinical center. Women who are accepted for the study and consent to participate will be randomly assigned to one of two groups, either treatment with a placebo, or treatment with flutamide. After six weeks, both groups will be treated with clomiphene citrate, and observed to see if ovulation occurs. When the study is completed, women in the placebo part of the study will be given the option of receiving the flutamide treatment if it appears to be effective.

Home Health Features Nine Signs of PCOS: Source: www.pcosupport.org Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Renee Davenport's Story From her freshman year in college, 35-year-old Renee Davenport struggled with difficult, irregular periods. Her campus ob-gyn couldn't offer a diagnosis, however, and once she went on the Pill, her cycles returned to normal and she put the problem in the back of her mind. That is, until she got married in August of 1989. Suddenly, Davenport, who had always been a size 10, ballooned up to a size 16 in less than three months. She also began experiencing other disturbing symptoms: excessive hair growth on her face, hair loss on the top of her head and periods that lasted anywhere from two weeks to several months. Davenport made the rounds between baffled doctors, surfed the Web and even thought about having a hysterectomy to stop her seemingly endless menstrual cycles. But it wasn't until she saw an endocrinologist three years later that she got a diagnosis: polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

Regular exercise, weight loss, and following a low carbohydrate/high protein diet have all been shown to decrease insulin levels. These lifestyle changes and these new drugs could also reduce the signs of elevated male hormone levels such as abnormal hair growth. The use of any of these new drugs is PCOS is considered experimental at this time. None of these drugs have been specifically approved for use in PCOS. What drugs are being used to treat PCOS?
