ถุงน้ำรังไข่หลายใบหรือภาวะ PCOS อันตรายที่ไม่ควรมองข้าม

<p>Currently, PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) or multiple ovarian cysts is one of the common health issues among women. It is caused by disorders of the endocrine system or hormones, along with other contributing factors.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">What is PCOS?</span></h2>
<p>PCOS is a condition characterized by the presence of multiple small cysts on both ovaries, resulting from chronic anovulation. This leads to physical traits associated with elevated male hormones, such as acne, oily skin, hair loss, or excessive body hair, including facial hair. Patients often experience irregular menstrual cycles, such as infrequent or erratic periods, which can lead to abnormal thickening of the endometrium, increasing the risk of endometrial cancer.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Causes of PCOS</span></h2>
<p>Evidence suggests that the causes of PCOS can stem from internal factors within the patient, such as genetics, and external factors like stress, obesity, diabetes, or the use of certain supplements that disrupt ovarian function, leading to chronic anovulation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Is Genetics Involved in PCOS?</span></h2>
<p>Medical data indicates that there is a genetic component to PCOS. Mothers with PCOS have a five-fold increased chance of their daughters developing the condition.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Who is at Risk for PCOS?</span></h2>
<p>Individuals with the following characteristics may be at risk for PCOS:</p>
<ul>
<li>Physical traits indicating elevated male hormones, such as acne on the back or chin, or excessive body hair</li>
<li>Irregular menstrual cycles, such as missed periods or very light or erratic periods</li>
<li>Obesity or diabetes</li>
<li>Infertility</li>
<li>Ultrasound results showing multiple cysts on the ovaries</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Treatment Guidelines for PCOS</span></h2>
<ul>
<li>Behavioral modifications and achieving a healthy weight</li>
<li>Medication to reduce insulin resistance, as chronic anovulation can cause abnormal energy metabolism similar to diabetes</li>
<li>For those wishing to conceive, considering ovulation-inducing medications or consulting a fertility specialist</li>
<li>To prevent abnormal thickening of the endometrium that could lead to cancer, hormone therapy with progestins or low-dose combined hormonal contraceptives may be considered.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Preventing PCOS</span></h2>
