Does PCOS Stop at Menopause? The Answer's Not What You Think!

Though
PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)is a fairly common
condition—indeed, roughly ten percent of all women of childbearing
age have it—there is still a surprising amount of misinformation
about precisely what it is, and how it is remedied.
For example, many women believe that
the condition ends at menopause, and on many levels this line of
thinking makes sense. After all,
Polycystic
Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)is a condition that
is typically associated with irregular menstrual cycles and with
infertility, issues that become moot after a woman experiences
menopause. But the problem with this thinking is that it assumes
these to be the only symptoms of the condition—and indeed, that it
assumes the condition to be solely a matter of the ovaries.
The truth of the matter is that this
condition is much more complicated than all that, and that while some
of its symptoms may be remedied by the onset of menopause, the basic
underlying problem doesn’t necessarily go away.
PCOS Isn’t Just a Fertility
Problem
The bottom line is that, while
infertility is certainly a major symptom, this condition affects the
woman’s body in many other ways. At its heart it’s not an ovarian
condition so much as a hormonal one, one with its roots in
Insulin
Resistance. When the body loses its ability to
properly absorb glucose from the blood stream, it begins to produce
an excess of hormones as a way of responding to the lack of insulin.
Insulin
Resistancedoes not go away just because menopause
begins, nor do all of its many symptoms go away. The hormonal
imbalance can still be an issue, and, in fact, many of the
symptoms—including thing hair, baldness, and the risk of heart
condition—actually get worse post-menopause.
A Better Way to Healthy Living
So rather than wait for menopause and
hope it eradicates
PCOS (Polycystic
Ovarian Syndrome), women who suffer from this disorder are left with
other options—and fortunately, some of those options are good ones!
Insulin Resistance is actually a wholly reversible condition. You can
turn back its insidious effects simply by taking on greater
nutritional habits and by exercising more. Both of these things will
make a huge difference in eliminating the symptoms of this condition,
helping you lose weight, and ultimately getting you feeling healthy
and happy again!
The
other
thing
a women suffering Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
(PCOS) might do is to look into the Insulite Labs supplements that
are available. In particular, the PCOS
System offers hormone-balancing
effects that have been scientifically calibrated to reverse the
condition. That means there is very much hope here, and, for women
who properly educate themselves and take the precautions necessary to
thwart the effects of the condition, no reason why PCOS has to be a
problem through menopause.
Insulite Laboratories, a Boulder,
Colorado USA based company, is committed to reversing Insulin
Resistance - a potentially dangerous imbalance of blood glucose and
insulin. Scientific research has revealed that this disorder can be a
primary cause of excess weight gain and obesity, plus Pre-Diabetes
and Type 2 Diabetes. Insulin Resistance can also underlie the cluster
of increased risk factors for cardiovascular damage called Metabolic
Syndrome (Syndrome X) as well as PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) -
a major source of serious conditions as well as heartbreaking female
infertility.
Recognizing that there are millions of
people who need this kind of systematic approach to reversing insulin
resistance, Insulite Laboratories has, developed systems to address
the underlying causes of Metabolic Syndrome, Polycystic Ovarian
Syndrome (PCOS), Excess Weight/Obesity, Pre-Diabetes and Type 2
Diabetes.
