Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormone disorder, which affects as many as one in 10 women, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office on Women’s Health. If untreated, this condition can affect a woman’s menstrual cycle, ability to have children, heart health, and appearance. Women with PCOS typically have many small cysts in their ovaries and high levels of androgens, or male hormones. Insulin resistance caused by high blood sugar, and type II diabetes are common long-term conditions often seen in women with PCOS. Symptoms of PCOS can include dizziness, lightheadedness, shakiness, and nausea which are the result of fluctuating blood sugar and insulin levels.
Numerous studies have demonstrated that weight loss and modifications to eating behaviors and lifestyle can greatly assist in normalizing insulin and androgen levels, and inducing ovulation. Good nutrition plays a substantial role in treating the insulin resistance, weight gain, and energy depletion commonly associated with PCOS. A proactive approach to a healthy lifestyle that includes balanced eating, regular physical activity, and stress management can make the difference in your ability to conceive and support a successful pregnancy.
We can offer individual nutrition counseling at your doctor’s office or at our main office. Some of the goals that we may address include:
- Improving and sustaining fertility
- Gaining control over your weight and well-being
- Decreasing your risk of developing diabetes and heart disease
- Increasing your energy and assisting you in understanding what nutrients your body needs.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is often misdiagnosed, so it is a good idea to obtain all copies of your blood work. If you feel that you’ve been misdiagnosed, consider obtaining another professional opinion.
