Understanding Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Understanding Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

The process of ovulation involves the ovary responding to chemical messengers sent from the brain. The brain controls the chemical signals sent to the ovaries based upon chemical signals it receives back in response to its signals. Without the production of progesterone the brain will think that ovulation has failed to take place and it will keep producing FSH and LH to stimulate ovulation. Progesterone is the key!

Women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome fail to ovulate and have very few periods in a year. Because of this disruption to the normal hormonal cycle Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome sufferers generally develop higher levels of the hormone testosterone due to increase luteinizing hormone (LH) being released from the pituitary gland in the brain. With time, this has the effect on the Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome sufferer of weight gain, acne and oily skin, and increased facial and body hair. Associated with these physical changes the body becomes resistant to the effects of insulin and as a result the normal process of sugar metabolism is disrupted. There are numerous synthetic hormonal and non hormonal options to treatment Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome which involve management of symptoms rather than addressing a significant underlying cause – progesterone deficiency.
