Irregular periods are a common occurrence among women and girls of all ages. One of the most common conditions causing them is Polycystic ovary syndrome – what we call PCOS. As this hormonal condition is so frequently found in women, Lamelle’s pharmaceutical division dove into extensive research of PCOS.
The result is a locally developed, clinically proven health supplement that helps ease PCOS symptoms, like irregular periods. The best part? It’s all natural!
Why is my period irregular?
First up, every woman is different and lots of things can affect the way they experience menstruation. However, your period could be considered irregular if the time between them starts to change or the duration begins to vary significantly. In this case, make an appointment to chat with your doctor or gynaecologist. The causes of a period gone astray really do run the gamut and can range from overdoing it in the exercise department to having fibroids (typically non-cancerous muscular tumours) growing in your uterus.
Still, one of the most common conditions that can cause an irregular period is the all-too familiar PCOS. According to the South African Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, it affects as many as 20% of our country’s women in their childbearing years. Female infertility is also a large concern.
The good news, however, is that it’s very treatable. From irregular periods to the negative effect it may have on fertility can, in many cases, be reversed.
It’s all about your hormones
To understand PCOS – as well as how to treat and beat it – realise that the root cause is unbalanced hormones. To start, sufferers typically produce more androgen (the male hormone). This causes the ovaries to not release an egg each month, resulting in irregular periods. Other negative effects include oily skin, an increase in acne and excessive hair growth – often in unwanted places such as on your face!
Another hormone that goes haywire when you’ve got PCOS? Insulin. In fact, as many as 70% of PCOS sufferers will also be insulin resistant. In this case, your body starts to produce an excessive amount of insulin because it’s stopped responding to the important message this hormone signals – that it’s time to use the sugar in your blood for energy.
Instead, the glucose just languishes in your veins, elevating your bloody sugar levels, and eventually gets stored away as fat. This is why being insulin resistant and struggling to lose weight, particularly around the belly area, go hand in hand. It’s also why suffering from PCOS and not treating it can dramatically increase your risk of developing diabetes.
Bring back the balance
Is some of the above sounding quite familiar? You’ll want to chat to your doctor to get a diagnosis. Irregular periods are not something to be ignored for the sake of your general health and fertility too. Treatment plans for PCOS might involve making lifestyle changes. Like moving more and improving your diet. But medication can also bring back the balance too.
It’s normal to feel uneasy about taking medication, but with Ovaria by Lamelle Pharmaceuticals you can ease symptoms naturally. It’s an all-natural blend that helps to regulate your body, reducing the risk of developing diabetes as well as other PCOS-related complications. Better yet, when you manage your insulin levels, you’ll reduce your androgen levels. As a result, Ovaria can support weight loss while reducing the severity of acne as well as excessive hair growth.
Ovaria has been clinically proven so you can feel completely safe.
