Abstract

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is common in childbearing age and leads to issues with infertility. Such women are overweight or obese and also less sensitive to insulin or are insulin resistant as high levels of insulin cause the body to store more fat. These women are more likely to develop problems related with weight gain and insulin resistance like: Infertility, Type 2 diabetes, hypertension. In PCOS, the ovaries produce excessive amounts of male sex hormones, or androgens. The name of the disease derives from small cysts that form on the ovaries, which do not produce enough of the hormone that triggers ovulation. When this occurs, the ovarian follicles, which have filled with fluid in preparation for ovulation, remain as cysts when ovulation fails to take place. In addition to infertility, symptoms include excessive hair growth in areas that usually are relatively hairless; obesity; menstrual irregularity; thinning or balding hair on the scalp; prediabetes or diabetes; and anxiety or depression. Weight loss in these women leads to higher chances of conception, improved pregnancy outcomes and improved metabolic profile. In PCOS, weight loss of even just 10% can improve insulin sensitivity thus benefiting infertility besides other symptoms.
