Polycystic ovary syndrome 101
had polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOS but was not aware of it until I had difficulty getting pregnant. Menstruation would come on time. No abdominal cramps, no acne. I was asymptomatic. However, in my entire career, I was exposed to an environment of free meals that are fat-laden, with high food portions and minimal intake of vitamins and minerals. What is PCOS? PCOS is an imbalance of female sex hormones. Ovaries contain lifetime supply of eggs which are immature and stored in tiny fluid structure called follicles. Pituitary gland (PG) secretes follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) every month into the blood stream and when it reaches the ovaries, several immature eggs, start to mature, expanding the follicle size- releasing female sex hormone (estrogen). Once it reaches a certain level, the PG releases LH to the ovaries, causing the most mature follicle to open and release its egg in a process called ovulation. The egg travels through the fallopian tube and waits for fertilization it and embeds into the walls of the uterus. The remaining follicles and eggs are dissolved. If egg is not fertilized, it sloughs off as menstruation. In PCOS, the PG releases high levels of LH into bloodstream, disrupting menstruation cycle, follicles do not mature and ovulation does not occur can lead to infertility. Some of the immature follicles do not dissolve and remain as fluid-filled sacs or cysts. Blood may have high levels of insulin produced by pancreas; plus, high levels LH can produce excess production of male hormone (testosterone) can prevent ovulation. PCOS also raises the risk of diabetes because of high insulin levels, heart disease, high blood pressure, cholesterol abnormalities and endometrial cancer.

For dietary treatment for general population, dietary recommendations vary from low-calorie diets with fat modifications, Mediterranean diet (MD), ketogenic diet (KD) and reduction in the dietary glycemic index (GI) and total calorie reduction can induce weight loss. Increasing physical exercise coupled with good diet plan can be very helpful. However, there are lean and obese women with PCOS, so lifestyle changes must be customized to the needs of the woman. To summarize, make food your medicine for nutritional healing. Do not abuse any dietary prescription such as the ketogenic diet to engage in non-healthy food choices. Lifestyle changes will always prove to be beneficial at any stage of life that we are in. Note: Maria Victoria M. Lucasan is a licensed nutritionist-dietitian.

It doesn’t show, but Bea says weight gain is caused by hypothyroidism
Bea Alonzo bared that she’s diagnosed with hypothyroidism, whose symptoms include weight gain. “So mga nagsasabi diyan, bakit ang taba na daw ni Bea, yun po yung reason. Pasensya na kayo,” said Bea on her YouTube channel Saturday night. It hardly shows, though, as the 35-year-old actress tries to address her health issues through workouts, proper diet, and supplements. “Aside from having PCOS [polycystic ovary syndrome], I recently was diagnosed with hypothyroidism so that’s the reason behind my gaining weight,” she said. “I’m trying to address it now...So wish me luck, sana matapos na siya.” Actresses Angel Locsin and Shaina Magdayao and singer Moira dela Torre also reportedly suffer from hypothyroidism, which happens when the thyroid glands don’t make enough hormones.
