Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can feel like a complex puzzle, with its mix of irregular periods, frustrating weight issues, stubborn acne, and sometimes, the heartache of fertility challenges. But there’s more to managing PCOS than just tackling symptoms—it’s about understanding how your body works as a whole and finding a personalized approach that works for you.

At Kairos Health & Wellness, we help you understand how your body works as a whole while creating a customized approach to address your symptoms.

• Irregular Menstrual Cycles: Women with PCOS often experience irregular periods, which may be infrequent, unpredictable, or absent altogether.
• Excess Androgen Levels: Elevated levels of androgens, often referred to as “male hormones,” can lead to symptoms such as acne, excessive facial or body hair growth (hirsutism), and in some cases, male-pattern baldness.
• Polycystic Ovaries: While the name suggests ovarian cysts, not all women with PCOS develop cysts. However, ultrasound imaging may reveal enlarged ovaries with numerous small follicles.
• Insulin Resistance: Many women with PCOS have insulin resistance, where cells in the body do not respond effectively to insulin. This can result in elevated insulin levels in the blood, which may contribute to weight gain, particularly around the abdomen, and increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
• Weight Gain: A significant number of women with PCOS struggle with weight gain or find it difficult to lose weight, especially around the midsection. This is often exacerbated by insulin resistance and hormonal imbalances.
• Fertility Issues: PCOS is a leading cause of infertility due to irregular or absent ovulation, which can make it challenging to conceive without medical intervention.

Imagine your health journey as a blend of smart nutrition choices that stabilize your energy levels and hormones, stress-busting techniques like yoga or meditation that not only calm your mind but also support hormone balance, and exercises that make you feel good inside and out, whether it’s dancing, hiking, or hitting the gym.

In our holistic approach, natural therapies like herbs and supplements can complement traditional treatments, helping to regulate your cycles and manage symptoms effectively. Some of our traditional treatments like Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, Phentermine are targeted at weight loss to reduce insulin resistance. Some of them are targeted at balancing hormones to reduce insulin resistance as well.
And it’s not just about what you do physically; it’s about feeling supported emotionally too—learning about your condition, connecting with others who understand, and maybe seeking guidance from a counselor who can help you navigate the emotional ups and downs.

You might also start paying attention to the everyday products you use, opting for those free from harmful chemicals that could disrupt your hormones. Small changes like these can add up to big improvements in your overall well-being.

Managing symptoms of PCOS effectively helps with infertility and and reduce the risk of long-term complications such as diabetes and heart disease. Early diagnosis and appropriate management can help improve overall health and quality of life for women with PCOS.
