            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).

In Traditional Chinese 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).

PCOs Treatment according traditional Chinese medicine


Depending to differentiation, most common diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome can be classified into 

Kidney yin deficiency

Along with common symptoms mentioned above, women with PCOs diagnosed with kidney yin deficiency may also experience yin vacuity induced cold expressive syndrome, including soreness of waist and knees(1848), lassitude(1848) and fatigue(1848), short breath(1848), poor appetite(1848), aversion to cold(184), cold extremities(1848), ringing in the ears(1850), migraine(1849), hearing problems(1850), a dry mouth and throat(1851), pale fingernails(1851), tidal fever(1851)and night sweating(1851), soles(1851) and chest(1851), constipation(1852),,......... as the kidneys no longer perform their functions of regulating fluid in moistening and nourishing organs and tissues of the body. According to TCM, too much cold/raw foods can aggravate the condition.

In the review of the Data base provided by PubMed, kidney yin deficiency may induce functional impairment or metabolic derangements in vital organs/tissues(1853) persuaded a conglomeration of sundry chronic disease state(1853), cognitive dysfunction(1854), vasomotor symptoms(1855),..... leading to accumulation of fluid in the body organ, promoted accentuation of inflammatory development of phlegm.
Kidney yin deficiency has shown to alter amino acid metabolism(1856), energy metabolism(1856) and gut microflora(1856), anovulatory infertility(1857) and
hypertension(1858), hyperinsulinemia(1859) and hyperandrogenia(1859)..... of which related to symptoms of PCOs(1859).


         Foods for Kidney yin deficiency

List of foods suggested by TCM doctors for management and treatment of PCOs' women diagnosed with kidney yin deficiency, including

3. Salmon(1860)
Salmon is the common name for Salmonidae. They are anadromous, born in fresh water, migrate to the ocean, then travel thousands of miles in the deep sea cold water throughout their life cycle and within to five years returning to the exacted location where they were born to reproduce and die.

Nutrients
1. Protein
2. Omega-3 fatty acids
3. B vitamins
4. Vitamin D
5. Astaxanthin
is a potent antioxidant that stimulates the development of healthy fish nervous systems and enhances the fish's fertility and growth rate.
6. Selenium
7. Tryptophan
8. Magnesium
9. Phosphorus
10. Etc.

Epidemiological studies suggested that low-molecular-weight peptides(1862) and long-chain polyunsaturated ω3 and ω6 fatty acids(1863) of salmon can alleviate metabolic syndrome (MetS)(1862)(1863) due to its effects on glucose tolerance(1862)(1864)(1866), fasting glucose(1866), hypertension(1868)adipose tissue inflammation(1862)(1865), insulin resistance(1865), body weight(1865), obesity(1866), lipid homeostasis(1862)(1867), and hepatic insulin signaling(1862) of which reduce risk of diabetes(1871) and cardiovascular disease(1870)(1872).
