Most common myths about Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Some medical conditions have the potential to change your life, and once when diagnosed, you’ll naturally be more keen on to knowing more about them. NU Fertility@NU Hospitals provides one of the best fertility services in India. Polycystic ovary syndrome is a perfect example. Women with PCOS have a hormonal imbalance and metabolism problems that may affect their health.

Here we have dispelled some of the myths about PCOS: 

You did something to cause it:

While the exact cause of PCOS is not properly known, but one thing is certain: you are not to blame. However several factors, including genetics widely play a role. The follicles grow and build up fluid, but the eggs do not get released. Ovulation does not occur, and meanwhile the follicles might turn into cysts. If this happens, your body might fail to make the hormone progesterone, which is needed to keep your cycle regular. 

If you lose weight, you can get rid of PCOS:

Unfortunately, there’s no cure for PCOS, but overweight and obese women can help balance their hormone levels by losing weight. Lifestyle changes, such as acquiring healthy eating habits can regulate your hormone levels better. 

You can’t get pregnant if you have PCOS:

This doesn’t stand true for everyone. Consult with your reproductive medicine specialist and give yourself a chance to conceive. A number of medications can stimulate ovulation, which is the main issue that women with PCOS face. 

PCOS only affects overweight women:

It is true that many women who have PCOS are overweight or obese. And it is also true that obesity can make PCOS symptoms worse. The reason why it happens is the inability to use insulin properly, which can lead to weight gain. Backed by the best equipment and technologies, NU Fertility@NU Hospitals is considered to be one of the best PCOS treatment hospitals in Bangalore.
