"The Holistic Prevention, Management and Treatment of PCOs analysed through Conventional Medicine Research and Studies" provides you the accurate information of the use of natural sources to prevent, management and treatment of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, because all presentations are proven through convention research and studies found in PubMed. This is the second time, a research paper has been written this way to general public that you will not find any where in the net. We would like to provide more of this kind the research, but unfortunately, it is time consuming and burdened financially, we have run out of time and the site will be shut down Monday(July 6, 2015).

Types of Conventional treatments
(Supplement
pages, unedited)
There
is no medical treatment for PCOs (induced weight loss for obese PCOs is primary
objective). If pregnancy is not
the concern, oral contraceptive medicine are prescribed. If pregnancy is a
concern, the below have found to be most frequent treatment used conjunction
with artificial insemination.
A.
Fertility Drugs
1.
Metformin
a)
The effectiveness of metformin
Metformin,
an oral anti-diabetic drug used to treat type II diabetes(652)(653) used widely
in treating PCOs to induce weight loss in subjects with obesity,and
infertility, improved insulin resistance(654)(655) by suppressing the production
of endogenous glucose(656)(658) by the livcer(659)(661) and induced weight loss
in obese patients(657)(658) through a reduction in calorie intake(657), as it
makes insulin working more effective without changing the level of insulin in
the body(659) by enhancing insulin-stimulated
glucose disposal in skeletal muscle(659), which can lead to a lowering
thyroid-stimulating hormone(660)
and improved ovarian angiogenesis
and follicular development(664) inhvolved PCOs pregancy(662)(663).
b) Side effects
i) Gastrointestinal
upset(666)(667), especially for patient with disequilibrium of 2 genetic
variations in OCT1(665), are mostly diarrhea(666)(667). Some patient may also
experience nausea, vomiting, and decreased appetite(669).
ii)
Reduce intestinal absorption of group B vitamins and folate in chronic
therapy(668), may lead to accelerate the progression of vascular disease(668).
iii)
Abdominal pain or cramps(669).
(iv)
Metformin may have a growth-static effect on several cancers, including
endometrial cancer, according to pre-clinical experiments(671)
2.
Chomiphene (Clomid)
a)
The effectiveness of chomiphene
It
is considered as a fertility medication(670). The effectiveness of clomiphere
is to induce ovulation(672) for natural conception for women with or without
PCOs with luteal phase defect by stimulating the function of pituitary gland in
series of hormone production(673), including LH, FSH. However, combination of
metformin and clomiphene citrate may have some effects in
improved pregnancy rates but not significantly improve the live birth rate over
that of clomiphene citrate alone in women with polycystic
ovary syndrome(674). Acupuncture, herbal medicine and clomiphenecombination used for
treatment of infertility on women with PCOs have shown to improve the pregnancy
rate and reduce early abortion rate (675), according to Zhongguo Zhen Jiu. 2015 Feb;35(2):114-8.
b) Side effects
i)
Abdominal pain and cramps(676).
ii)
Breast tenderness(676)
iii)
Ovaries edema(677)(678)
iv)
Central nervous symptoms such as nervousness, sleeplessness,
headaches, visual disturbances, vertigo(682), irritability, mood swings,
feeling down(680)
v)
Bloating(682) and hot flushes(681).
vi)
Nausea, vomiting and dermatitis(683)
(vi)
Women with BRCA mutation carriers may be at increased risk of invasive
epithelial ovarian cancer (IEOC)(669).
(v)
Risk of ovarian cysts(676)
(vi)
Risk of ovarian cancer(684)(685)
(vii)
Risks of melanoma and thyroid cancer(679).
3.
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HcG)
a)
The effectiveness of HCG
Human
Chorionic Gonadotropin (HcG) is a hormone secreted by specialized cells called
trophoblasts and later by the placenta following implantation(686)(687). The
drug has been used conjunction of IVF for treatment of infertility to induce
ovulation by stimulating the release of mature egg(688)(689), approximate 36
hour after taking it. HCG not only pinpoint the best time for sexual
intercourse with success conception or assisting intrauterine insemination in
egg retrieval(690)(691). The medicine also used for treatment to obese women
with PCOs for weight loss(692)(693)(694) with controversy.
b)
Side effects
Although
side effects of HCG is not common, but some women may experience(697)
i)
Headaches
ii)
Irritability
iii)
Restlessness, slight
iv)
Water retention
v)
Breast tenderness
vi)
Depression
Other
risks may include
(vii)
Obstetrical complications, adverse perinatal outcomes, structural congenital
abnormalities, chromosomal abnormalities, imprinting disorders, and childhood cancer(697)
(Vii)
Ectopic pregnancy(689)
(viii)
Blurred vision and scotomas(695).
(ix)
Multiple pregnancy, miscarriage, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)(696)
4.
Human menopause gonadotropin(HMG)(Menotropin)
a)
The effectiveness of HMG
HMG
contains natural FSH and LH, is a purified form of urine of post menopausal
women(699). By stimulating production of LH and FSH to right levels, the drug
induces ovulation and develop mature follicles(700). The medication may be also
used if chomiphere therapy and other medication have been failed to induce ovulation(701).
b)
Side effects
i)
Risk of multiple pregnancy, and spontaneous abortion(702)
ii)
Ovarian enlargement (Caused by over stimulation)(705)
iii)
Ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS)(703)(704)
iv)
Risk of miscarriage(704)
v)
Risk of ovarian cancer(706)(707)
vi)
Shortness of breath, dizziness, pelvic pain, nausea, and vomiting(708).
5. Dexamethasone
a)
The effectiveness of dexamethasone
Dexamethasone
is a synthetic member of the glucocorticoid class of steroid hormones and a
prescribed medication for fertility to induce ovulation(709) for artificial
insemination(710)by suppressing the androgen levels(711), resulting in
increasing the chance of fertility(710).
b)
Side effects
i)
Risk of miscarriage(710)
i)
Risk of bone growth at different developmental stages(713)
Other
side effects, according to Rxlist(712) include
- sleep problems (insomnia), mood changes;
- acne, dry skin, thinning skin, bruising or discoloration;
- slow wound healing;
- increased sweating;
- headache, dizziness, spinning sensation;
- nausea, stomach pain, bloating;
- muscle weakness; or
- changes in the shape or location of body fat (especially in your
arms, legs, face, neck, breasts, and waist).
6.
Surgery
Surgery
is not commonly performed. If necessary, PCOs infertility can be treated by either
a laparoscopic surgery also is known as ovarian drilling(714)(715), the
surgical procedure is not proven to be effective for women with PCOs
infertility if used alone with potential surgical risks(714) or wedge
resection(716), only to PCOs patients did not conceive with standard ovulation
induction protocols(717). It is to your benefit to forgo this type of expensive
treatment in favour of other such as IVF.
B.
Oral Contraceptive
Only
if pregnancy is not the concerns
1.
The benefits of oral contrecptive
a.
Reduce total testosterone levels and acne(718)
b.
Improve lipid profiles, hsCRP levels, insulin resistance and
hyperandrogenism(719)(720)
b.
Regular menstrual cycle(720)
c.
Lower androgen hormone levels(720) and lessen the amount of excess hair growth
(also called “hirsutism”)(720)(721).
d.
Decreased mentrual Cramps, or No Cramps(722)
e.
Reduce risk of colorectal and endometrial cancers(723), ovarian cancer(724), and
ovarian cysts(725).
2.
Risks and side effects
a)
Risks
i) Risks of blood clots(728), stroke(728), heart disease(726), cervical cancer(724) and breast cancer(727)(723)
i) Risks of blood clots(728), stroke(728), heart disease(726), cervical cancer(724) and breast cancer(727)(723)
ii)
Hypertension(726) and increase heart rate(726) caused by thickening of blood in
arteries.
b) Side effects
i) Bleeding and spotting(729)
ii)
Weigh gain(730)(731)(732)(inconclusive result)
