Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Symptoms may include:
- male pattern baldness
- excessive hair growth
- infrequent menstrual cycles
- acne
- anovulation and infertility
- weight gain
- insulin resistance
- polycystic ovaries
High circulating insulin levels are also associated with raised testosterone levels. Development may be genetically linked, but lifestyle is also an important contributing factor (since one in two affected women is overweight). The protein sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) generated by the liver plus brain, placenta and uterus, binds sex hormones in the blood effectively lowering circulating levels of free hormones. Low levels of SHBG means that free testosterone rises.
Treatments involves:
