PCOS stands for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Does that sound familiar?
PCOS affects women’s hormones; women experiencing PCOS produce above- normal amounts of male dominant hormones.
The resulting hormonal imbalance produces serious menstrual and reproductive irregularities.
There are several methods in mainstream medicine that can help women conceive or to resolve their fertility problems. Probably the best known of these is the use of IVF or In-Vitro Fertilization. This procedure involves the eggs being removed from the ovaries and mixed with sperm in a laboratory culture dish. When fertilization has occurred the fertilized eggs or embryos are returned to the uterus. However the cost of this procedure is high and many women cannot afford this luxury, so alternative fertility treatments are also sought after.
