polütsüstilisi

Polütsüstilised refers to a condition characterized by the presence of multiple cysts. In a medical context, it most commonly refers to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age. PCOS is a complex endocrine disorder with a range of symptoms and potential health implications. It is not a disease but rather a syndrome, meaning a collection of signs and symptoms that occur together.

The exact cause of PCOS is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Key features often include irregular or absent menstrual periods, elevated levels of androgens (male hormones), and polycystic ovaries, which are ovaries containing numerous small follicles that do not mature properly. These hormonal imbalances can disrupt ovulation and lead to difficulties with fertility.

Beyond reproductive issues, PCOS can also be associated with other health concerns. These may include insulin resistance, which increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Weight management can also be a challenge for individuals with PCOS. Other potential complications can include sleep apnea, endometrial hyperplasia, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, blood tests to assess hormone levels, and an ultrasound to examine the ovaries. Treatment approaches are individualized and focus on managing symptoms and reducing the risk of long-term health problems.
