Admin_NHT Staff asked 5 years ago Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in females in the Western World, characterised by disturbances in the normal menstrual cycle, abnormal hair growth, weight gain and multiple cysts in the ovary, leading to pelvic cramps. Natural remedies may supplement the medical therapy. They include:
Maintaining a Healthy Weight: A healthy weight reduces the insulin and progesterone levels and thus, may restore ovulation.
Dietary Modifications: Limiting high energy carbohydrate-rich and lipid/fat-rich food may decrease the insulin levels again. Also, consuming more complex carbohydrates (such as those in fruits, vegetables), helps in gradual increase in blood glucose levels.
Regular Exercise: It helps to supplement dietary modifications while preventing insulin resistance and prevents the development of diabetes mellitus type 2.
