Planning To Get Pregnant, But Cant!

My sister in law is planning to get pregnant, but there is a slight problem. She has polycystic ovary syndrome. My brother does not know about this syndrome, she is wondering what she should. Can this syndrome be cured, and if yes, how much time does it take? What is the cause of this syndrome, how bad does it affect the woman, and prevent her from being pregnant. If the man’s sperm is strong, can she still not be pregnant. Does this syndrome make the egg quality poor?

Your sister in law is planning to get pregnant but can’t due to polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOS. The PCOS can cause infertility in woman because it makes the quality of eggs poor or one of the prominent cause of lack of ovulation. It can cause some menstruation disorder in woman.  It can take many years to diagnose PCOS. It not only affects only the women but also teenage girls. You can notice acne on the face of your sister in law this is also a sign of polycystic ovary syndrome. A girl’s ovary produces three sex hormones estrogen, androgen and progesterone. Androgen is also known as male hormone. If the girl’s ovaries produce more than a sufficient amount of androgen it can affect the ovulation.  This can results into irregular or missed periods. Obesity is also a sign of polycystic ovary syndrome. You can consult your gynecologist. Antiandrogens are the drugs that can help in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome by reduce the effect of androgen in the girl’s body.
