Can Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Affect Your Hormone and Cause Weight Gain?

Polycystic ovarian syndrome, commonly known as PCOS is a common hormonal problem faced by women of child-bearing age. Apparently, women with PCOS have been observed to have many small cysts around their ovaries, causing hormonal imbalance and simultaneously affecting women’s menstrual cycle.

Apart from that, this situation may to lead to the occurrence of acne and excess body hair growth. When women are in this situation, they are apt to be experience insulin resistant weight gain. Generally, the weight gain is observed to be more concentrated around their abdomens and hence putting them at a potential risk of heart disease.

If you are experiencing PCOS, what can you do? Of course, there are many medications available to help control excessive body hair growth, insulin resistance and even acne, and even more to reduce weight gain. As for weight gain, evening primrose oil (EPO) supplements have been clinically proven to help reduce weight gain.

EPO is rich in natural source of omega-6, and fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid (also known as GLA), and is especially indicated for children and adults with atopic dermatitis and atopic eczema. Not only that, EPO is also particularly good for reducing pre-menstrual syndrome among women.
