International Women’s Day: Women and their fight against the PCOS
Wednesday March 8, 2023As we celebrate International Women’s Day on 8th March every year, it is essential to acknowledge the
various difficulties faced by women in both everyday life as well as their health. One of the most common problems
experienced by females all around the world is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a complex hormonal disorder
that affects millions of women globally. For this reason, it is important to raise awareness and understanding of
PCOS and its effects on women’s health and wellbeing.
PCOS is a hormonal disorder that affects a woman’s reproductive system, causing irregular
menstrual cycles, the formation of cysts on the ovaries, and an excess of male hormones. The condition can lead to
infertility, diabetes, obesity, and other health complications.
The exact cause of PCOS is unknown, but researchers believe that a combination of genetic and
environmental factors may play a role. The condition affects up to 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide,
making it one of the most common hormonal disorders affecting women.
Despite the prevalence of PCOS, many women struggle to get an accurate diagnosis and
appropriate treatment. The symptoms can vary widely and may be mistaken for other conditions, making it challenging
to receive proper care.
However, women with PCOS are fighting back. They are raising awareness of the condition,
advocating for better research and treatment options, and supporting each other through online communities and
in-person support groups.
- One way that women
are fighting with it is by sharing their stories and experiences.
By speaking out about the challenges they face, women are breaking down the stigma and isolation that can
come with the condition. This, in turn, is helping to raise awareness and increase understanding of PCOS
among healthcare providers and the wider community. - Another way is by
taking control of their health. Many women with the condition have
found that lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, and
managing stress levels, can help manage their symptoms. These lifestyle changes can also help prevent some
of the health complications associated with PCOS, such as diabetes and heart disease.
Researchers are working to understand the underlying causes of PCOS and develop new
treatments that can help manage symptoms and improve overall health outcomes for women with the
condition.
In addition to medical treatments, many women are turning to complementary and alternative
therapies to manage their symptoms. These therapies can include acupuncture, herbal supplements, and
mindfulness-based interventions. Nutraceuticals are becoming increasingly important for managing PCOS because they can
help alleviate symptoms such as irregular menstrual cycles, weight gain, and acne, among others. It may also improve
insulin resistance, which is often a component of PCOS. Zeon Lifesciences offers a range of nutraceutical products,
including those for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), which are made with high-quality ingredients and formulated to
support overall health and well-being.
The best nutritional supplements for those with PCOS are listed below:
- Inositol: Inositol is a type of B-vitamin
that can help improve insulin sensitivity and regulate menstrual cycles in women. - Magnesium: Magnesium is an important mineral
that can help regulate insulin levels and reduce inflammation.
- Vitamin
D: Vitamin D is essential for bone health and may also help
regulate menstrual cycles and improve insulin sensitivity. - Omega-3 fatty
acids: Omega-3 fatty acids are anti-inflammatory and may help
improve insulin resistance and reduce the risk of heart disease. - Berberine: Berberine is a plant compound that
can help reduce insulin resistance and improve blood sugar control. - Probiotics:
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that can help improve gut health
and reduce inflammation in women.
On this International Women’s Day, it’s important to recognize the resilience and strength of
women with PCOS. Despite the challenges they face, women are fighting back and taking control of their health. By
raising awareness, advocating for better care, and supporting each other, they are making progress in the fight
against it. However, much more needs to be done. We must work together to ensure
