Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) often results to infertility due to the cyst growth in the ovary. Since the ovarian cells are being replaced by these cysts, it will stunt the growth and release of egg cells therefore, halting your menstruation. So what are the methods for PCOS infertility treatment?
To induce ovulation, doctors often prescribe medications like Clomiphene (Clomid). If the patient does not respond to Clomiphene, they will give hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone) injections to release the eggs. If it still does not work, the doctor usually gives Gonadotropin injections that further make the woman more susceptible for pregnancy.
Other doctors prescribe pills to induce hormones for egg release. The use of metformin (which is insulin sensitive) is often prescribed too.
PCOS is often associated with obesity and Diabetes Mellitus. Consequently, one has to maintain a healthy diet. As much as possible, avoid having too much sugar intake. This will aggravate the PCOS more. It is suggested that you cut off on your carbohydrates and refined sugars. Take only complex whole grains.
Since you are cutting down all your sugars and carbohydrate intake makes you susceptible to hypoglycemia which may lead to another problem. To avoid this, chlorophyll is administered to reduce hypoglycemia without having to increase your glucose level in the body. Other supplements that are classified as insulin resistant are Vitamin B, magnesium, alpha lipoic acid and conjugated linoleic acid. These supplements should be added to your diet.
Furthermore, since stress is also related with hormonal imbalance, it is best that you know how to handle situations that aggravate stress. If you are working, try to relax every now and then. Exercising regularly also lessens the stress.
To augment PCOS infertility treatment, eating healthy also is a plus. Avoid polysaturated fats which are found in junk foods, animals, like veal, beef, pork, lard, lamb, butter, poultry fat, cream, cheese, and whole milk dairy products.
