       Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is defined as endocrinologic diseases among reproductive-age women caused by undeveloped follicles clumping on the ovaries that interferes with the function of the normal ovaries associated with a high risk for metabolic disorder(1) as resulting of enlarged ovaries(2), leading to hormone imbalance(excessive androgen and anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) )(1)(3)(4)(5), induced Hirsutism(6)(7), reproductive disorder(10(12)), risks of type 2 diabetes(9)(10)(11), metabolic syndrome(10)(12) and early cardiovasular disease(8)(13), acne(10)(14), endometrial cancer(18)(19),weight gain and obesity(15)(16)(17). The syndrome effects over 5% of women population or 1 in 20 women.
Unfortunately, according to studies, women with PCOs after the reproductive age, are associated to  continuously increase risk of type II diabetes, with no increasing altered glucose tolerance(20), CVD and hypertension(21).

Management and Treatment according to Traditional Chinese Medicine Perspective
 
While conventional medicine focus of using synthetic medication to induce ovulation and assisted artificial insemination for infertility couple, if the medicine fail, traditional Chinese medicine views polycystic ovarian syndrome in different approaches.

Polycystic ovary syndrome, according to traditional Chinese medicine is a medical condition characterized by accumulative of fluid over a prolonged period of time causes of dampness and phlegms(1247a)(1247b) build up on the ovaries due to the effects of vary differentiations, affecting not only the women’s menstrual cycle, but also ovulation and fertility(1247a)(1247b).
 

The Dietary Suggestion, Life Style Modification and Nutritional Supplements according to TCM
  According to Angela Warburton(1249), a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine practicing in Toronto, Canada, incorporating the proper dietary and lifestyle modifications, may make a BIG difference in the long-term for treatment of PCOs(1249).


Nutritional Supplements according to Traditional Chinese Medicine


Modern traditional Chinese medicine doctors may also recommend the list of nutritional supplements for management and treatment of PCOs, depending to differentiation.  
  1. Chlorophyll(Best for syndrome of Stagnation of Qi and blood stasis(1246) and Dampness heat of liver PCOs patients)
Chlorophyll, a water plant has been conferred to a wide range of health benefits, including anti cancers(1337)(1338), immune-modulating(1339), improve anemia(1341), anti hypoxia(1342), antioxidant(1343)(1340), anti inflammation(1344)(1345), etc. According to Lund University, thylakoids, a chlorophyll-containing membranes in chloroplasts may constitute to weight loss over time, through its efforts in reduced food intake and prevented compensational eating later in the day(1345) and  hypoglycaemia induced weight gain in overweight women(1345). "Chlorophyll  processed a property in detoxification of the liver"(1346)(1347), according to Dr. Janet starr Hull of alternative health and nutrition said, of which improve liver function in cabohydrate and lipid metabolism.(see protect your liver in life style modification according to TCM for more information)
[Liver diseases such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) associated to 41% increased risk in women with PCOs(1320), is tightly associated with obesity and the metabolic syndrome induced physiopathology of fibrosis development and progression(1316) affecting the liver function not only in blood storing and formation(1318) and but also liver in transportation of blood and fluid to kidney and heart in fluid and blood distribution to our body(1318) and liver metabolism(carbohydrate metabolism (glycolysis and glycogen synthesis) and triglyceride synthesis (lipogenesis))(1319) in regulating insulin resistance associated with excessive fat accumulation in ectopic tissues, inflammation and endoplasmic reticulum stress(1317).
Vitamin B complex has shown to exhibit hepatoprotective effect(1321) through inhibition of lipid metabolic disorder(1321), oxidative damage(1321)(1322) and nitrosative stress(1322).
According to Auburn University, consumption of green leafy vegetables (GLVs) may reduce the risks associated with cardiovascular(1323) and liver diseases(1324) such as hepatocellular carcinoma(1324) through modulate liver fatty acid composition(1323).
Liver disharmony can contribute emotional depression(1318)(1324), exacerbating the psychological symptoms in women with PCOs(1325).]

 2. Probiotics (the healthy bacteria found in your intestinal tract)

( Best for PCOs patient diagnosed with spleen yang deficiency(1248))
Foods promoted the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract include whole grains, onions, bananas, garlic, honey, leeks, artichokes and some fortified foods, excluding milk and mlik products.
(See Avoid milk and dairy products (cheese and yogurt) in lyle style modification according to TCM for more information)
[According to traditional Chinese medicine, milk and dairy products are considered as "very cold and damp foods" in nature, as they can overload the digestive system, inducing production of phlegm, the main cause of PCOs(1304)(1305)(1306). Replacement of cow milk with (unsweetened) almond milk may contribute to many health aspects for women with PCOs. According to researches, almond milk  not only be an efficacious substitute of cow milk in infant with cow-milk allergy/intolerance(1307) but also induces production of probiotics, which have a positive effect on fasting blood sugar(1310) and serum of insulin(1310) in in PCOS patients, through its fermentation stage(1308). According to the University of California at Davis, intake of almonds containing 31 g of total fat per day for 6 weeks had an  beneficial effects on plasma lipids and androgens in PCOS(1309)].

According to studies, probiotics has shown to contrinute to many health aspects, including anti gastrointestinal diseases(1354)(1355)(1356) anti antibiotic(1348)(1349), anti antibiotic resistance(1350)(1351), improved immune(1352)(1353), anti diabetic(1357)(1358), anti obese(1359)(1360), anti metablic dysfunctional,(1361)(1362), antioxidant(1363), anti inflammatory(1364)(1365), anti cancerous(1366)(1367), anti infective activities, etc. In a study by Isfahan University and Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, probiotics also significantly improve serum insulin levels, among 72 women aged 15-40 years old diagnosed with PCOS in a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial(1370).
