WHAT IS PCOS?
Before you can treat something, you need to understand it! I’ve always found knowledge to be empowering. The good new is there is a natural pcos remedy.
According to WebMD, PCOS, or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, “occurs when a hormone imbalance interferes with normal ovulation. PCOS is a major cause of female infertility; if it is not treated, it can lead to serious health problems, such as diabetes and heart disease.”
Since PCOS is a hormonal imbalance, it creates many symptoms that seem like other things, or related to the normal hormonal imbalances that teenagers go through. It’s important to understand the symptoms, so you don’t go undiagnosed. It’s one of the most common hormonal imbalances, with many, many women who suffer needlessly from it on a daily basis.
The most common symptoms of PCOS are:
*Irregular menstrual cycles
*Facial hair
*Stomach pain
*Male pattern balding
*Weight gain
*Acne
*Fertility problems
Who is more likely to have PCOS?
*Women with a family history of PCOS
*Women with diabetes
*Overweight women
Having one or even two or three of these symptoms, doesn’t necessarily mean you have PCOS, but it’s important to consider it as a cause so you can seek early treatment, and hopefuly a natural treatment. The sooner you find a natural remedy for PCOS, the better off you will be at gaining control of your life again, and not developing more serious complications.
WHAT ARE THE OVARIES:

In order to understand what polycystic ovary syndrome is, it’s important to understand the ovaries themselves. You can’t have a natural remedy for PCOS until you understand what you are dealing with! You have two ovaries, one on both sides of your uterus. They are connected to the fallopian tubes. Their main functions are to produce eggs, and female hormones. So, you can see how important they are to your fertility, and overall hormonal health! They are also only the size of small almonds, but can get to be the size of grapefruits if a painful cyst develops. You can see how much pain that could cause, if you understand how small the ovaries are, and just how large the cysts can get if left untreated.

Since PCOS messes with your bodies ability to produce the female hormones, progesterone and estrogen, there is often an excess of the male hormone Androgen produced. That is why you get many male symptoms such as facial hair, and balding and and acne! It’s important to get the Ovaries doing the job they were meant to do. A natural PCOS remedy is only a few steps away, once you understand how the ovaries work and what they do.
