Can progesterone help recovery from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)?
PCOS is a condition that is rising alarmingly all over the world. It is the most prevalent reproductive problem in young girls and women, affecting up to 10% in the 15 to 50 age group. Although reaching almost 25% if women with mild cystic ovaries and ovaries damaged by the contraceptive pill are included. PCOS is generally considered a syndrome rather than a disease, because it manifests through a group of signs and symptoms that can occur in any combination, rather than having one known cause. Other names for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome are Stein-Leventhal Syndrome, hyperandrogenic chronic anovulation, functional ovarian hyperandrogenism, and Polycystic Ovary Disease.
