                Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is defined as endocrinologic diseases among reproductive-age women caused by undeveloped follicles clumping on the ovaries that interferes with the function of the normal ovaries associated with a high risk for metabolic disorder(1) as resulting of enlarged ovaries(2), leading to hormone imbalance(excessive androgen and anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) )(1)(3)(4)(5), induced Hirsutism(6)(7), reproductive disorder(10(12)), risks of type 2 diabetes(9)(10)(11), metabolic syndrome(10)(12) and early cardiovascular disease(8)(13), acne(10)(14), endometrial cancer(18)(19),weight gain and obesity(15)(16)(17). The syndrome effects over 5% of women population or 1 in 20 women.
Unfortunately, according to studies, women with PCOs after the reproductive age, are associated to continuously increase risk of type II diabetes, with no increasingaltered glucose tolerance(20), CVD and hypertension(21).


Management and Treatment according to Traditional Chinese Medicine Perspective

While conventional medicine focus of using synthetic medication to induce ovulation and assisted artificial insemination for infertility couple, if the medicine fail, traditional Chinese medicine views polycystic ovarian syndrome in different approaches.

Polycystic ovary syndrome, according to traditional Chinese medicine is a medical condition characterized by accumulative of fluid over a prolonged period of time causes of dampness and phlegms(1247a)(1247b) build up on the ovaries due to the effects of vary differentiations, affecting not only the women’s menstrual cycle, but also ovulation and fertility(1247a)(1247b).


The Dietary Suggestion, Life Style Modification and Nutritional Supplements according to TCM
According to Angela Warburton(1249), a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine practicing in Toronto, Canada, incorporating the proper dietary and lifestyle modifications, may make a BIG difference in the long-term for treatment of PCOs(1249).


                       The Nutritional Supplements 

2. Magnesium
Magnesium, a micro nutrient and trace mineral found abundantly in spices, nuts, cereals, cocoa and vegetables such as spinach. Today approximately 5% - 15% of world population are found to have low level of serum of Mg(1470), probably due toreduced dietary magnesium intake associated to food refining and modern fertilizers that contain no magnesium(1471). In US, 68% of population are found to have dietary intake of Mg below recommend levels(1472).
Deficiency of Magnesium may cause learning and memory deficiency(1473), reduced metabolisms(1474)(1475)(1476), hormone imbalance(1476), altered the gut microbiota(1477) in the digestive system and anxiety(1477)(1478), sleep disorders(1479)(1480), coronary artery vasospasm(1481), arrhythmias(1481)(1490), ischemic damage(1481) and cardiac failure(1481), etc....

Epidemiological studies suggested that magnesium also exhibits anti cancer(1500)(1501)(1502) anti metabolic syndrome(1482(1485)(1484) effects such as hypertension(1483)(1487), obesity(1486)(1487), elevated fasting plasma glucose(1488)(1489), high serum triglycerides(1488)(1491), and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels(1488)(1490), etc,... and reduces risk insulin resistance(1482)(1484)(1490), cardiovascular disease(1482) and diabetes(1483)(1484), migraine headache(1492)(1493)(1495), premenstrual syndrome(1494)(1495), depression(1478)(1496), stress(1497)(1498), etc,... of which may be helpful for management and treatment of women with PCOs.
