Polycystic ovary syndrome is a very commonly seen health condition in women of reproductive age due to hormonal imbalance. In women, the over-secretion of androgens (male hormones) in the body results in such disorders which inflicts both physical and metal stress in the body.
Hyperinsulinemia with insulin resistance is believed to be a key link in the enigmatic generation of the symptoms of PCOS such as anovulatory infertility and hyperandrogenism. Regression of these symptoms may be achieved by reducing the hyperinsulinemia. A growing body of evidence suggests that PCOS patients with hyperinsulinemia have a higher risk to develop diabetes mellitus, hypertension and cardiovascular disease as compared to age matched women. By following proper PCOS diet plan for weight loss ritually, PCOS can be controlled to some extent.
