Polycystic ovary syndrome or ovarian sclerocystosis is called hormonal endocrine disease, when these organs are enlarged due to many small bubbles with liquid. The causes of sclerocystosis of the ovaries are androgens - male hormones, which are formed in excess. In short, a cyst is formed on the site of the unripened egg, which is constantly growing.
Causes and Symptoms
Women with sclerokinosis often acquire some masculine traits: on the body they start faster and in excess hair grow, pimples appear, bald patch on the nape, fat deposits in the waist.
Doctors still did not agree on the reasons for the appearance of sclerokinosis. There is a version about the influence of the hormone insulin, which regulates the level of sugar in the blood. Scientists believe that by producing androgens, the body tries to resist the increase in sugar levels.
This disease has no age limits. It also affects girls who have not yet begun menstruation, and older women. In addition to the masculine features, the symptoms of sclerocystosis of the ovaries are cycle disorders. Bleeding can be extremely painful. However, the most dangerous consequence of sclerocystosis is infertility. Often the disease is accompanied by skin infections, candidiasis, fullness and increased urination.
Diagnosis and treatment
Specialists will not be able to tell a woman how to treat sclerostyrosis until an ultrasound examination is performed. It will also be necessary to examine blood samples.
Sclerokistoz - an incurable disease, but the symptoms can be eliminated with medicinal hormonal drugs. Often
Cardinal measure - surgical treatment. Using a laser knife, doctors cauterize the affected ovary in several places. This procedure is called laparoscopy. In most cases, ovulation can be stimulated, which greatly increases the chances of conception. But sometimes the scars on the ovaries become an insurmountable obstacle to the birth of the baby.
