Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects women of childbearing age. The cause of PCOS is not fully understood, but it is thought to be related to an imbalance of the hormones involved in ovulation.
The most common symptoms of PCOS include irregular periods, enlarged ovaries, and excess hair growth on the face and body. PCOS can also lead to fertility problems and an increased risk for certain types of cancer.
Treatment for PCOS often involves a combination of lifestyle changes and medication. Surgery may also be an option for some women. An enlarged uterus in women with PCOS may feel mild symptoms, which can go untreated for an extended period. An enlarged uterus is usually only identified after a routine pelvic exam. Therefore, it is crucial to consult a gynecologist to determine whether PCOS or other medical conditions cause uterine enlargement.
There are several things that women with PCOS can do to help prevent the condition from worsening, such as maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and avoiding processed foods.
