● A defect in the hypothalamus, a part of the brain responsible for regulating the production of many hormones, including androgens.

Cortisol:Women with PCOS often make too much cortisol, the “stress hormone” produced in the adrenal glands. In fact, research indicates that many women Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.

Being overweight also increases cortisol production.

Raised levels of cortisol change the way your body manages other critical hormones, putting you at risk for insulin resistance, anxiety, depression, and thyroid dysfunction. In addition, the overproduction of cortisol can overwork the adrenals to the point of adrenal fatigue. For this reason, stress—emotional or physical—takes more of a toll on women with PCOS than on those without it.

Progesterone:Progesterone is a hormone, produced mainly in the ovaries, that plays an important role in the menstrual cycle and maintaining and nourishing the body during pregnancy. After ovulation each month, progesterone helps thicken the uterine lining in preparation for a fertilized egg. This is called the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Women with PCOS almost always have low progesterone and thus a luteal-phase defect. This makes it nearly impossible to maintain a pregnancy even if ovulation and implantation do occur and is often the cause of miscarriage and unsuccessful assisted reproduction. Some doctors recommend supplemental progesterone Конец ознакомительного фрагмента. Текст предоставлен ООО «ЛитРес». Прочитайте эту книгу целиком, купив полную легальную версию на ЛитРес.

If you have a progesterone deficiency and your doctor suggests hormone replacement, you may be prescribed a bioidentical progesterone. Bioidentical, or natural, progesterone is a combination of elements derived from natural plant sources that identically matches the progesterone we naturally make in our bodies. Prometrium is a micronized (reduced to tiny particles and mixed with peanut oil) natural progesterone in the form of a pill. It is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a natural hormone-replacement therapy medication. Because natural progesterone is molecularly identical to the hormone produced by the body, it causes few side effects.

Alternatively, your doctor may suggest a synthetic progestin such as Provera, since it was the standard before good natural alternatives were developed. Provera is also a constructed compound, but its chemical structure is not identical to natural progesterone. As a result, it can cause changes in vaginal bleeding Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.

Unfortunately, many women are told that synthetic progestin is the same as natural progesterone. Be a PCOS Diva at the doctor’s office and discuss the differences between these two hormone-replacement options to find one that is best for you.

Estrogen:Estrogen, the primary female sex hormone, is produced in the ovaries, adrenal glands, and fat tissues. Many women with PCOS experience estrogen dominance, that is, too much estrogen and not enough progesterone to balance its effects. Symptoms such as heavy or painful periods, infertility/miscarriage, and hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid gland) may result.

● PMS

● Headaches and/or migraines

● Fluid retention

● Heavy or painful periods

● Endometriosis

● Moodiness, anxiety, or depression

● Hypothyroidism

● Infertility or miscarriage

● Breast pain or tenderness

Thyroid hormones:Many women with PCOS have a dysfunctional thyroid. It may be overactive (hyperthyroidism) or, more commonly, underactive (hypothyroidism). Hashimoto’s disease, an autoimmune disease and the most common cause of hypothyroidism, is prevalent in women with PCOS.

I encourage all women with PCOS symptoms to have a complete set of thyroid labs to rule out thyroid dysfunction.
