Polycystic ovary syndrome, a seemingly unfamiliar and familiar name, is actually a topic that every modern woman needs to pay attention to. For us, from daily life to physical health, PCOS has an important impact.
First of all, who are the victims of PCOS? It is a common problem among women of childbearing age, especially among young girls. The scary thing about it is that not only does it prevent you from conceiving children, but it can also cause serious diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, not to mention the possibility of fatal endometrial cancer. This is not a joke, it is a chronic disease that has to be managed forever. In the long run, PCOS affects us like a shadow, and in the short term, PCOS is like a trickster who doesn't give you peace of mind. Therefore, whether it is from a long-term or short-term perspective, it is better to detect and prevent early.
However, there are many people who don't know that they have polycystic ovary syndrome, often a few years after marriage, ready to have a baby, but no matter how hard they try, they go to the hospital to check, it turns out that polycystic ovary syndrome is at work. In fact, the external manifestations of patients with PCOS are more significant, as long as you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find those women who may suffer from PCOS.
Weight observation is one of the most obvious features of people with PCOS. Many patients with polycystic ovary syndrome will be blessed, even if they don't eat much, their weight will still rise every year, and their waist circumference will become thicker and thicker unconsciously, and the difficulty of ** is several times more difficult than others. However, don't think that only fat polycystic patients will have no money, thin polycystic patients are also facing problems, their figure has not changed much, and they still look so slim. Whether it is fat polycystic or thin polycystic, most people have a common problem, that is, it starts to widen from the waist, the waist circumference is usually more than 80 cm, and the ratio between the hips and legs - the waist-to-hip ratio is more than 085。For women, if the waist-to-hip ratio is higher than 08. This means that there is too much male hormone accumulated in the body, or you are already in an obese state, and it also increases the likelihood of having polycystic ovary syndrome.
Menstrual observation is another symptom. Normally, a woman's menstrual cycle should be 21 to 35 days, usually 3 to 7 days, and the flow of each period is about 20 to 60 ml. For women with polycystic ovary syndrome, their menstrual periods often come and go, sometimes not at all, or have much lower than normal menstrual flow. Hair abnormalities are also typical of polycystic ovary syndrome. The hair color is deep and thick, far beyond the level of the average person of the same age; Acne is also a common problem;
Diabetes can lead to the appearance of acanthosis nigricans. So, these are all phenomena that you need to pay attention to when observing the female friends around you. At this time, you may wish to use the notepad app on your mobile phone to record your menstrual leave in the last six months - including menstrual cycle, menstrual period, menstrual flow, etc. This is very useful information that can help you identify if there is a potential problem as early as possible. All in all, PCOS is like a ticking time bomb buried in a woman's body that can burst at any time.
However, as long as we can detect it early and take measures as soon as possible, I believe we will be able to defeat this small enemy.
