The dangers of polycystic ovary

Polycystic ovary is an abnormal symptom that can cause infertility and hirsutism in women, as well as acne and obesity. Therefore, when polycystic ovary occurs, women should seek medical treatment in time to avoid affecting the secretion of female hormones. Now let us learn about the dangers of polycystic ovary syndrome and pay attention to ovarian care and vaginal care.

Several common symptoms and hazards of polycystic ovary syndrome:

Symptoms and hazards 1. Infertility

Women fail to ovulate due to hormonal disorders or lack of basic ovarian function, that is, ovulation dysfunction leads to long-term infertility, and even if they become pregnant, they are prone to miscarriage. It can directly destroy women’s normal fertility, leading to fertility difficulties or infertility.

Symptoms and hazards 2. Hirsutism

The hairy areas are mainly the upper lip, lower jaw, around the areola, the midline below the navel, above the pubic bone, around the anus, and the base of the thighs. The hair is very dense, thick, long, and dark in color. Because of racial differences, hirsutism in Asian women is not as easily seen as in American and European women. Sometimes hair loss and acne occur at the same time. This has a serious impact on the daily life of female patients.

Symptoms and hazards 3. Acne

Acne is more common on the face, such as the forehead, cheeks, etc., and may also occur on the chest, back, and shoulders. It initially manifests as blackheads, and if broken, it will form papules, pustules, nodules, cysts, scars, etc.

Symptoms and hazards 4. Obesity

The relationship between obesity and PCOS is very complicated. It may be related to the decrease in insulin sensitivity. Even after the male hormone drops to normal levels, the symptoms of obesity still exist.

Symptoms and hazards 5. Acanthosis nigricans

Polycystic ovary syndrome can cause velvety, flaky hyperkeratosis and other lesions in female patients, which may cause the patient's neck, back, armpits, and breasts. There are several dietary taboos for polycystic ovary syndrome:

Taboo 1: Do not eat carbohydrates alone. Try to combine them with vegetable and fruit fiber, protein or fat to slow down the absorption rate. You can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to keep your bowel movements smooth.

Taboo 2: Avoid abnormal blood lipids and eat less foods containing saturated fatty acids and hydrogenated fatty acids.

Taboo 3: Choose foods with a low glycemic index: eat more whole grains, such as granular oatmeal, brown rice, whole-grain rice, and hard grain bread.
