POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is polycystic ovary syndrome and what symptoms does it give?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the most common hormonal disorders in women during their reproductive age (6-10%).<\/p>\n

It is characterised by menstrual irregularities, hyperandrogenism (which is manifested especially with dermatological disorders such as acne, hirsutism and alopecia) and ovaries with polycystic appearance on ultrasound.<\/p>\n

In 60-80% of concurrent cases there are also difficulties in losing weight and metabolic disorders such as obesity, insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia and type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n

It may also be responsible for pair infertility due to the presence of anovulatory cycles.<\/p>\n

Symptoms can appear immediately after the first menstruation or develop over the years. <\/p>\n

The clinical picture can look very different from patient to patient.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What causes polycystic ovary syndrome?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Its origin is probably multifactorial: hereditary genetic factors are often associated with sedentary lifestyle and an incorrect diet regimen.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s known the role of insulin resistance on proper ovulocyte maturation and secretion of ovarian sex hormones.<\/p>\n

Affected patients often have first-degree relatives with metabolic conditions such as diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity or cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Diagnosis and treatment\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The diagnosis is made in the presence of 2 of the 3 following criteria: ovulatory dysfunction, hyperandrogenism (based on clinical data and\/or hormonal values dosed in the blood), polycystic ovaries to the pelvic ultrasound.<\/p>\n

It is therefore useful to rely on the endocrinologist for an overall hormonal and metabolic evaluation and then undertake a personalised treatment.<\/p>\n

Therapy always starts from a change in eating habits and attention to physical activity.<\/p>\n

Depending on the manifestations of the syndrome and the needs of individual patients, it also makes use of specific therapies to counteract its effects.<\/p>\n

An appropriate treatment offers great benefits both in terms of aesthetics and metabolic already in the first months.<\/p>\n

The earlier the diagnosis is made, the earlier it is possible to intervene to avoid the long-term consequences (infertility, hyperplasia and endometrial cancer, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus type II, atherosclerosis).<\/p>\n
