One of the leading causes of infertility in women is a condition known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This condition is known as the hidden epidemic as it is estimated that one in ten women worldwide suffer from PCOS! While the condition has many symptoms such as weight gain, acne, ovarian cysts, insulin resistance, and of course PCOS and fertility are closely linked.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a subtle condition as there is nothing too easy to spot in terms of symptoms caused by a hormonal imbalance. PCOS causes a woman’s ovaries to produce male hormones such as testosterone, which are called androgenic hormones. This interferes with many functions of a woman’s body, especially when it comes to reproduction. Irregular periods can be a sign that PCOS is active and unbalancing her reproductive system, but the entire menstrual cycle can be affected by these problems which can make it very difficult to be fertile and conceive.

Modern medicine has relatively little to curb PCOS and its effect on fertility by providing some medications that often have severe side effects and are often prescribed as “continue” treatments, but when stopped do not eliminate the problem itself. There has been much more success with alternative medicine and especially homeopathic solutions that involve lifestyle changes that control diet, exercise, sleep patterns, and more. These kinds of non-pharmaceutical solutions are sometimes shunned by the mainstream media and doctors, but they carry little to no risk and the number of success stories continues to rise to challenge current thinking on the subject.

If you are concerned about PCOS and fertility, you should understand that there is no quick fix, but you do have options in the unconventional healthcare industry that have been proven to help thousands of women seeking childbirth despite their condition.
