Health Supplements Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome_____________________________________Advertisement People who face problems because of polycystic ovarian syndrome (POCS) face a life full of menstrual pain and increased potential for heart disease, diabetes, infertility, eventual ovarian surgery and even a possible need for a hysterectomy. This is because doctors often will not treat the condition until cysts grow large enough to become a problem with fertility (at which point it may be too late) or if they turn cancerous. Most doctors recommend medications such as birth control or pills that contain metformin to help control and also to reduce the size of existing cysts, but this does not heal the problem. The reason why medicinal treatment is not fully effective is because they simply control the problem of polycystic ovaries but do not address why they occur in the first place. Usually cysts appear as a result of a combination of uses including but not limited to genetic factors, nutrition, biochemical, and some will go as far as to say psychological factors. The reason why health supplements can help you control and eliminate your polycystic ovarian syndrome is because they directly address what is lacking in your diet or chemical makeup to help you reduce the eventuality of developing more cysts. Therefore, you may consider taking regular health supplements that will help aid your body in combating your body’s deficiencies or the deficiencies in your body. There are many different items that you may want to include in your health supplement that will build your immune system and your liver so that you process estrogen better before it will overact and form more cysts off of abnormal cells and so that your white cells and blood flow are also strengthened so it is possible for your body to produce fertilized eggs. Zinc and Vitamin B6 have both been found to do these two things, so you may want to look into adding them to your health system if you suffer from polycystic ovarian syndrome. You also may want to include milk thistle for the same reason in your health supplement as it has been found to support your overall liver function in general. Additionally, flax seed has been found to help your body metabolize excess estrogen and saw palmetto has been found to stop testosterone conversion so that your body is free of testosterone as well since it can be more dangerous to a women’s body than overactive estrogen. |
