Thankfully, There Are Natural Cures For PCOS

By Merry Rienstra


The relationship that women have with their own bodies is incredibly complicated and this is influenced by a number of factors from their own families and relationships, to the ever present hand of the media and its depiction of what is beautiful. The beginning of this complication starts during puberty and the beginning of menstruation. This latter process becomes more and more important when the prospect of starting a family comes into play. All periods are not created equal and while some women are regular, others are dealing with one that disappears and reappears. The causes of infrequency can, in some cases, be attributed to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but thankfully, rather than jumping immediately towards drugs or surgery there are natural cures for PCOS.

Rather than being the result of a structural deformation or an insufficient amount of eggs, PCOS is related to hormones. Hormones are chemical factors made by the endocrine system and are intimately involved in human development. Many women understand the role that hormones play every month when their period happens.

For some females, however, periods can be more infrequent. Many times this is ignored and ascribed to issues of stress once a pregnancy has been ruled out. Since many women don't enjoy menstruation due to cramps and irritability, it can be simple to understand how not having a monthly visitor can seem like a blessing.

They ignore it because it's easy to ascribe another reason like stress to be the cause and many women are happy to not have to deal with their periods at all. There are other symptoms, however, that can point to PCOS as being the culprit including the growth of hair in traditionally abnormal places like the nipples and face.

Missing a period usually leads to pregnancy scares, but once a baby has been ruled out, many women will ignore irregular flows and attribute it to diet or stress. There are other symptoms, however, that can point to the need for making a doctor's appointment.

More often than not, PCOS has not progressed this far, but must be diagnosed by a physician. A simple blood test and pelvic exam will inform the doctor of how far along your condition is, but for most cases the ascribed therapy will be natural. Yes, the best cure for this condition involves natural products.

This is not a surprise for those who live healthy lifestyles and, indeed, many women who suffer from PCOS are living decidedly unhealthy lifestyles. The increase in incidence has been tied to the rise in obesity among the general population and excess weight, especially centered in the abdominal area, causes a number of health related issues from diabetes to high cholesterol and has an impact on hormone production.

Getting back to health involves a complete change in lifestyle which can be helped along with natural supplements and products. A system wide detoxification and reset of bodily systems takes time and effort, but is worth it in the long run.

Excess weight causes an increase in hormone production, among a host of other problems like diabetes and high blood pressure. Rather than rushing toward surgery or medicine, it is important for women to understand the role that their actions can play in the development of certain conditions and that it is the adoption of better habits that can help prep their bodies to be able to have children.
