Glucophage

Glucophage Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, or PCOS, is common among five to ten percent of women around child bearing age. It is also the leading cause of infertility in women. Researchers have not yet found a cause for this condition but speculate genetic hereditary as the cause. Some symptoms of PCOS are irregular or absent menstrual periods. The infrequent ovulation in PCOS women produces follicles, 10 mm fluid-filled sacs attached to the ovary which contain the egg. Typically eight or more follicles are formed. (2) Often the follicles are premature which causes them not to ovulate and therefore create cysts on the ovaries. Hyperandrogenism, another symptom, is increased levels of male hormone in the PCOS woman. Other symptoms include infertility, enlarged ovaries, which cause severe pelvic pains, and obesity. (1) Research shows no cure for this disease, merely treatment. The treatments include a cyst removing surgery in which the patient has one month to get pregnant. After a month, the cysts return along with infertility. This is a one time procedure. Another treatment is the drug Glucophage. Glucophage, also known as Metformin Hydrochloride, is commonly used to treat type two diabetes.
