What is PCOS ?

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder very common among women of reproductive age.

Symptoms of PCOS:

  • Infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods.
  • Excess male hormone (androgen) levels causing hirstuism, excess hair on the body, balding or hairfall.
  • The ovaries may develop numerous small follicles.
  • Fail to regularly release eggs.
  • There is insulin insensitivity.

What causes PCOS?

  • Obesity
  • Dyslipidaemia
  • Low grade inflammation in body
  • Excess androgen produced due to hormonal imbalance
  • Faulty eating habits that increase insulin resistance

PCOS can result in:

  • Infertility
  • Gestational diabetes or pregnancy-induced high blood pressure
  • Miscarriage or premature birth
  • Metabolic syndrome —combination of conditions like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and abnormal lipid levels
  • Type 2 diabetes or pre diabetes
  • Sleep apnoea
  • Depression, anxiety and eating disorders
  • Abnormal uterine bleeding
  • Endometrial cancer

Infertility – A major concern of PCOS:

PCOS gives rise to larger than normal ovaries with n number of immature eggs. With PCOS there is high level of male sex hormone named androgens. High androgens levels interfere with regular activity of ovaries. It hinders the ovulation process and release of developed egg in female body. If egg is under developed then it gets difficult for the egg (ovum) to fertilize with the sperm and set in pregnancy.

How to solve the problem?

There are various ways in which PCOS can be handled. It totally depends on the severity of the issue and the way body reacts to the treatment.

PCOS is treated with combination of medicines, diet and exercise. Medicines are given to correct the hormonal imbalance and timely ovulation. Diet plays a role in managing weight, insulin insensitivity and providing adequate nutrition. Exercise regularise the hormone secretion, manage weight and improve metabolic processes in the body.

How does food or PCOS diet help in pregnancy?

While you suffer from PCOS, you should have foods that are low in glycaemic index, high fiber,   rich in good quality proteins and low in fat. Right selection of food, keeps the insulin secretion in place. Foods like soy improve the release of oestrogen in body and promote healthy ovulation. Omega 3 rich foods help keep the uterus and foetus healthy. Omega 3 also helps in perfect development of ovum in the ovaries. High fiber foods keep the weight in check.

Low GI foods:

Low fat foods:

Avoid all high calorie foods like desserts, fried foods, white sauce preparations, sweets, bakery products. These are all high in refined flour and also fat. High fat foods leads to weight gain and worsen the development of ovum. Opt for alternative cooking methods or food stuffs that are low in fat.

Omega 3 rich foods:

Omega 3 rich foods like walnuts, soy, fish, egg reduces inflammation in female body. It also promotes regular menstruation and development of healthy ovum. You can replace the oil with rice bran oil and olive oil which can be used for cooking. Flax seeds are also a good option to increase omega 3 and fiber intake. Read – Benefits of Flax seeds.

Whole fruits and vegetables, flax seeds, sprouts, unstrained vegetable soup, multigrain breads, brown rice are all rich in fiber. High fiber keeps you full for longer period of time thus, cut down over eating. This helps to avoid unwanted calorie intake. Fiber keeps the gut clean, removes toxins and balances the weight. High fiber also helps to reduce the inflammation in body. Thus, it improves the ovulation and hormone response.

    How can we drink milk in pcos? It should be diary free or else it leads to higher level of insulin. Isn’t this correct?

          yes. you need to come down to 75 kgs to have a healthy pregnancy. its difficult to conceive in obesity . if you lose weight , your follicle issues will also ease out and youcr chances to conceive will improve.

      Hi Shalini ,

      If your pcos is under control *( weight is in control and you get regular periods , there is not much of facial hair and acne issue at the moment), then you can include a little milk in your diet , specially if you are vegetarian . But if you are a non vegetarian , you can do without it .

      If your pcos is towards an extent where your periods are not regular yet , its best to stay away from dairy for a while. This also supports your treatment.
