Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormone imbalance disorder in women. This devastating health condition has a negative impact on a woman’s health, her ability to have a child, and her physical appearance.
PCOS is characterized by chronic problems with ovulation, menstrual dysfunction, and excess production of male hormones (androgens). Women with PCOS may have enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges (polycystic ovaries). PCOS is one of the most common endocrine disorders affecting women today. Around 1 in 10 women of childbearing age have PCOS. It is the most frequent cause of anovulatory infertility.
Symptoms of PCOS include infertility, irregular or missed periods, high male hormones, excessive hair growth, male patterns of baldness or thinning hair and low sex drive. Weight gain, difficulty losing weight, acne, and fatigue are common with PCOS. Many women with PCOS also experience anxiety and depression caused or exacerbated by PCOS.
PCOS gets its name from changes typically seen in the ovaries. Polycystic ovaries are enlarged and contain many immature follicles. Development of these follicles is stopped before they are fully developed. The LH surge does not occur and the woman will not ovulate.
In addition to polycystic ovaries, the principal features of PCOS are excess androgens and ovulatory dysfunction. Other key features of PCOS are insulin resistance and imbalances in gonadotropins. Excess levels of insulin (hyperinsulinemia) is a key factor leading to the overproduction of ovarian androgens.
Strategies are losing excess weight, balancing your hormones, avoiding endocrine disrupting compounds, reducing high cortisol levels, and supplementing with N-acetylcysteine, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and inositol.
NAC can protect insulin receptors and influence insulin receptor activity secretion from the pancreas cells. As a result, NAC can improve insulin resistance.
Women with PCOS have been shown to have higher levels of oxidative stress than women without PCOS. High levels of oxidative stress can damage cells and promote inflammation which in turn worsens the metabolic aspects of PCOS.
As a powerful antioxidant, NAC works to fight oxidative stress and reduce inflammation.
Sometimes women with PCOS develop non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This type of fatty liver disease can result from high insulin and triglyceride levels. It can be reversed with modifications in your diet.
NAC may be able to improve liver function by reducing levels of oxidative stress in those with NAFLD.
