The word polycystic means an anomaly in the development of certain organs. The most common are polycystic ovaries, lungs and polycystic liver. The treatment of these deviations today has been developed very deeply, and with timely access to a doctor, the disease is completely cured.
What is PCOS? This is a disease in which there is a hormonal imbalance. Due to a hormonal imbalance, a woman does not ovulate, and, therefore, there are no periods.
The disease is dangerous because, if left untreated, it can lead to complete infertility.
Polycystic ovarian disease, which is recommended to be treated as early as possible, can occur for various reasons. This may be a hereditary predisposition, decreased immunity, constant stress, some infectious diseases or climate change. Sometimes the disease can be caused by disorders in the pituitary or hypothalamus, adrenals, thyroid, or ovaries.
How is PCOS treated today? Treatment involves a complete examination of the patient. First, the doctor evaluates the external signs. It can be excessive body hair, sudden weight gain, ovarian enlargement, and irregular cycles.
Tests scheduled later. Based on their results, they make a decision on how to provide medical care.
When diagnosed with PCOS, treatment can be either hormonal or surgical. The first method helps in half the cases. The patient is prescribed a course of hormones that stimulate the maturation of follicles. If medicines do not help, specialists resort to surgery.
Is the operation dangerous for the diagnosis of "polycystic ovaries"? Treatment, or rather surgery and rehabilitation after it, depends on the skill of the surgeon and the desire of the patient to follow all the instructions. Unlike conservative treatment, ovulation is restored in almost all women, and 80% soon become pregnant.
Polycystic lung disease can occur in patients of both sexes. Most often, this is a congenital pathology in which the tissue of the lungs and bronchi begins to develop incorrectly even in the womb. As a result, many cavities and cysts appear in them, which stop the development of the entire respiratory apparatus.
Signs of the disease: the development of thickening at the fingertips, deformation (flattening) of the chest, frequent coughing, purulent sputum and hemoptysis. Treatment consists of surgical intervention, which is accompanied by a long course of conservativetreatment with antibiotics.
Polycystic liver disease is the formation of cavities in the liver. They can be formed as a result of the activity of parasites, due to past diseases and a decrease in immunity. The cavities are filled with fluid, disrupting the normal functioning of the organ. The disease is accompanied by sharp or dull pains, a general disturbance of well-being.
Often, polycystic liver disease spreads to the kidneys. Treatment of this form of polycystic disease depends on the type of cysts formed and may be surgical or conservative.
