Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
by DrDave901
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is becoming more common that can result in infertility and menstrual problems. Many gynecologists seem only to treat menstrual irregularities and occasionally give clomid to help a woman ovulate. There is much more to the syndrome. Some women with PCOS may suffer from insulin resistance and/or metabolic syndrome. Without addressing these conditions as well, a woman is only partially being treated. To truly manage PCOS a patient should also be evaluated to rule out metabolic syndrome. This syndrome is best identified by evaluating one's triglyceride levels as well as BMI or hip to waist ratio.
