Weight Loss and Life’s Complications: Live with PCOS is a big challenge

News India Live, Digital Desk: Most women suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) often get the same advice: “Just lose a little weight.” Although this suggestion is not completely wrong, it accepts only a symptom of complex hormonal condition. Comprehensive hormonal disorders, which affect 1 in 10 women of reproductive age, are accompanied by many reproduction, metabolism and psychological problems. Yes, controlling weight can help. But to help a woman suffering from PCOS truly, we need to look beyond weight measuring scale. To understand this, we must first ask: What causes PCOS? Birla Fertility and IVF, Bhubaneswar’s fertility specialist Dr. Rohani Nayak also gave the same answer.

PCOS is inspired by a combination of insulin resistance, hormone imbalance, genetics and environmental factors. Typically, they have high androgens (male hormones) high and estrogen levels are significantly low. Hormonal changes result in irregular menstruation, acne, unwanted hair growth and infertility in 70–80% of women.

Between weight and PCOS

Weight gain is also a major symptom of hormonal condition. And in some cases, loss of 5% weight can also return the level of androgens to the normal range, which improves overall symptoms. However, losing weight does not eliminate the root cause of PCOS. In addition, it is not as easy for people struggling with PCOS to lose weight as it seems. Hormonal imbalance and insulin resistance can affect metabolism and fat storage. Additionally, PCOS can disrupt appetite regulation and disrupt sleep, making it challenging to reduce kilos.

It may be surprising to know that the weight of all women suffering from PCOS does not increase. A large number of women are affected by ‘Lean PCOS’. These women do not weight much, but still they see all the classic symptoms of PCOS. Therefore, the advice to “lose weight” does not apply to them. They need to make special diet changes to control symptoms and take medicines regularly hormone-regulating.

With or without weight gain, fertility remains a major concern for most women suffering from PCOS. Natural conception is not always possible due to irregular menstrual cycle. Therefore, women need to take oral contraceptive and other medicines regularly to regularize their menstrual cycle and improve fertility when trying to conceive. In more severe cases, supportive reproductive techniques such as IVF may be necessary. Weight control can improve possibilities, but it does not guarantee pregnancy.

What do women suffering from PCOS want?

Effective PCOS management requires a holistic approach, including:

1. Medical assistance to cure hormonal imbalance
2. Personal diet and lifestyle strategies
3. Mental health counseling
4. Breeding plan and, if necessary, ART option

PCOS is a lifetime situation that affects every woman in different ways. By addressing only one part of it, the rest of the problem can remain unresolved. Instead, care requires a complete, kind and personal approach.
