E1 - Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Do you know what the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is? And how it can affect a woman’s life and fertility? In today’s episode, Dr. Esther Iyune Cojab 👩‍⚕️, gynecologist and specialist in fertility and in #AdvancedFertilityCenterCancun, is going to share some information about this condition.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is the most common endocrine metabolic disorder in women in reproductive age. The estimated prevalence is 6 to 10 percent of women. The exact cause of this syndrome is unknown, but it is believed that it is multifactorial.

For PCOS to be recognized and diagnosed, specific criteria must be presented by a woman. For example, a woman can experience alterations in the menstrual cycles, acne, hirsutism, overweight, insulin resistance, etc. However, not all women will experience all of these alterations, as it may vary from person.

Why is it important to this pathology?

Because it’s related to some comorbidities, like infertility, diabetes, depression, anxiety or high blood pressure. Even though not all women will have these conditions, PCOS can be a high-risk factor for them.
