Polycystic ovulation

Many women face such a terrible problem as infertility. The cause of this violation can be many disruptions in the body. Often, various diseases result in infertility. One of them is polycystic ovary.

Fortunately, such a disease is not diagnosed often, but still it exists and is quite a serious ailment. Therefore, it is important to start treatment in time, and then plan a pregnancy.

What is an ailment?

Polycystic is a pathology in which fluid cysts form in the ovary. These tumors interfere with the normal functioning of the female reproductive system, and as a result women have problems with conception of the child. Infertility is a fear for any representative of the weaker sex, so get out of this situation by stimulating ovulation.

What causes such malignancies? Scientists have conducted many different studies, but there is no consensus on what causes this disease, only assumptions. Culprits in the development of the pathology may be failures in the work of the hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal and ovaries.

Also affects the production of hormones in the pancreas and thyroid gland. No less important is the low sensitivity of fat and muscle tissue to insulin.

Because of this, there is an increased level of insulin in the human blood, which disrupts the activity of the ovaries. As a result, they begin to intensively produce estrogens and androgens, resulting in ovulation failure.

Also due to insulin, ovarian tissue acquires sensitivity, and muscles and fat layers react normally to this substance. Thus, in the blood the insulin index is normal, but due to the high sensitivity of the ovaries to it, still intensified production of sex hormones, leading to a violation of ovulation.

Experts believe that the factors that can lead to the development of pathology are the following:

• Heredity;
• Excess body weight;
• The presence of frequent stressful situations;
• Disease of infectious pathologies occurring in chronic form;
• Multiple abortions;
• Complications during pregnancy or labor;
• Rare sex;
• Disorders in the endocrine system;
• Adverse environmental conditions;
• Diseases of a gynecological nature.

What are the symptoms of the disease?

The main clinical manifestations of ovarian pathology are several symptoms:

• The doctor sees an enlarged size of the ovaries when viewed.
• There is also a violation of the menstrual cycle, as happens when the men come for the first time in their life, or how they flow when there is excess weight.
• In addition, menstruation can be accompanied by painful sensations, be abundant or, conversely, meager. As a result of the fact that ovulation in polycystosis is not a long time, or does not occur every month, infertility is developing.
• In the course of laboratory tests, a high level of androgens is found in the blood, which are male sex hormones. You can find out about their increased content even externally. After all, there is excessive growth of hair on such parts of the body as the lower leg, hamstrings, crotch and abdomen. Also, these women often have hairs above the upper lip that resemble antennae.
• In addition, obesity is considered a symptom of polycystosis. Women can gain 10 to 15 kg above their normal weight. At the same time, excess fat is distributed evenly throughout the body.
• Patients suffering from this ailment complain that, due to the increased level of androgens, their voice has become coarsened, and pigmented spots with a brown color appear on the skin.
• In addition, for a long time they are concerned about signs that are usually observed before the arrival of menstruation. There is swelling, there are mood swings, there is soreness in the lower abdomen and in the lower back, the breast becomes firm and very sensitive.
• As a result of the fact that the ovaries of women increase sufficiently in size, they are constantly concerned about the pain syndrome, which is observed in the lower abdomen, in the waist and in the sacrum. This is due to the fact that they put pressure on other organs and cause excessive production of prostaglandins.
• It should be noted that some patients have bleeding from the uterus. They are due to the fact that estrogens for a long time had an effect on the mucous membrane of the uterus, while the level of progesterone was low. As a result, a thickening and proliferation of the endometrium is formed.
• Patients suffering from polycystic cysts in the ovaries are much more prone to developing a depressive condition and increased anxiety. Therefore, among them, you can meet women who have been diagnosed with various mental disorders.

How is stimulation performed?

Stimulation of ovulation in polycystic ovary is a very effective way to enable a woman to plan the conception of a child. During the therapy the doctor necessarily recommends using hormonal drugs in the form of tablets or injections. They should be applied strictly at a certain time, depending on when the menstrual cycle begins.

These drugs can help the ovum mature on time. At the moment when it is released from the follicle, there is a chance to become pregnant. In any case, before the specialist prescribes treatment, he must establish whether there are other causes contributing to the development of infertility.

The procedure for stimulation of ovulation is divided into several stages:

1. First the patient must take hormonal medications during the 5-9 days of the menstrual cycle.
2. On the 11th-12th day, the doctor performs an ultrasound examination to observe how the follicle grows.
3. On the 15-16th day of the menstrual cycle, a specialist introduces a drug to a woman, which helps the follicle breaks and releases the egg. This may occur approximately 24-36 hours after the administration of the drug. On the day when this drug will be introduced, and the next day you need to make a full sexual contact.
4. Also from the 16th day the woman will again need to take hormonal medications to keep the pregnancy and support the body.
5. On the 17-18th day the doctor again performs ultrasound.

This procedure can have a positive effect once. If this does not happen, then the procedure continues, but the dosage of the drug administered is increased. In the event that you still do not get pregnant, the specialist decides to replace the medication with another group.

In the process of stimulation in the female body, the hormone levels in the blood increase. Because of this, it may happen that several follicles will burst at once, correspondingly, several eggs are released at once. Therefore, it is likely that a woman will become a mother of two or three children at a time, that is, there will be a multiple pregnancy.

This method does not always give a positive result. Therefore, if he did not help, then do not get upset. You should pay attention to your health and bring it back to normal. To do this, you need to eat right, get rid of excess weight, exercise more and strengthen your immune system.

In addition to the medical method of therapy, surgical interventions are also practiced, for example, laparoscopy. This kind of surgical care is the most effective. When laparoscopy specialists make a thin puncture in the abdominal surface, thanks to which there is no adhesion in the small pelvis.

In addition, the patient has almost no traces after surgery, which is very important for the fair sex. The procedure is carried out using general anesthesia. It is also worth noting that the patient is recovering very quickly after laparoscopy, so the next day he will feel fine.

During this operation, the doctor removes those areas of the ovary in which the most thickened capsule is found. As a result, the passage is released, so that the egg can freely release from the follicle. It also helps to reduce testosterone in the blood, which is produced mainly by thickened areas of the ovaries.

After such an effective operation, a woman already in the next menstrual cycle has the opportunity to become pregnant. In this case, the patient must hurry with conception, because the beneficial effect of surgical intervention is valid from five months to one year.

Is it possible to stimulate with the help of traditional medicine?

Most women who have problems with ovulation prefer not to doctors, but methods of traditional medicine, because they are natural, unlike various drugs sold in pharmacies.

Medicinal plants are used to stimulate ovulation. So, you can brew the uterus, the leaves of a red brush or sage. You can buy these herbs easily in any pharmacy.

• To prepare a drink from sage, you need to take one tablespoon of this plant and pour one glass of freshly boiled water. Take it 3 times a day, preferably in the first half of the menstrual cycle.
• The bovine uterus, which contains a large amount of progesterone, must be consumed in the second half of the cycle. The egg of a woman who has a deficiency of progesterone, can not enter the uterine cavity, as a result of which she dies. Therefore, this herb will undoubtedly be very useful and effective.
• Also often prepare a decoction of rose petals, which is not only pleasant and tasty, but also quite useful. After all, flowers contain a lot of vitamin E, which contributes to a fertile conception. In order to prepare a remedy, you need to take one tablespoon of petals, pour a glass of boiled water, put in a water bath for 15 minutes. It is necessary to use only one tablespoon of this medicinal drink. And it is necessary to do this both for the woman and for the man. For members of the stronger sex, you need to make a decoction of flowers of red or dark red, and a weak one - from petals of white or pink hue.
• Also beneficial for ovulation mummy, which is taken with olepichovym, quince, carrot juices. To drink a folk remedy is necessary in the morning and evening time on an empty stomach.

It should be noted that sometimes the recovery of ovulation is temporary. Doctors met cases when, after 5 years, women again suffered from a violation of this important process.

Dietary food

Specialists recommend their patients to follow the rules of nutrition. Due to the fact that it is the fat tissue that produces the most male sexual hormones, the diet is aimed at stabilizing the hormone levels in the woman's body.

• First of all, you need to eat food that has a low caloric value. Therefore, it is forbidden to eat fatty foods, sweet foods, and drink alcoholic beverages.
• You also need to limit yourself in the use of carbohydrates, for example, potatoes, cereals, bread and so on. But eggs, meat, fish, cottage cheese, fresh fruits and vegetables should be included in your daily diet.
• It is recommended to take food often, but in small portions. When a sufficient amount of adipose tissue is burned, you can introduce some prohibited foods into the diet. But do not overdo it, because the weight will quickly return, and again there will be health problems.

Every woman who has noticed the symptoms of polycystic ovary should immediately visit a doctor and go through all the necessary research. With this disease, conception is possible, but to bear a child is a problem. The instability of the hormonal background often contributes to the fact that miscarriage occurs or the fetus freezes.

In addition, such a pathology of the ovaries, if not timely cured, can lead to various adverse consequences, for example, the development of a malignant tumor of the cervix. Therefore, the first manifestations of the disease should be a compelling reason for contacting a doctor.
