Balance Hormones, Conquer PCOS: Natural Supplements & Nutrition

• PCOS is a common cause of infertility in women, affecting around 70-80% of those with the condition.
• The hormonal imbalances in PCOS can disrupt ovulation, preventing the release of mature eggs that can be fertilized.
• Even when ovulation does occur, the uterine lining may not develop properly, making it difficult for a fertilized egg to implant.
• Other fertility-related issues in PCOS include insulin resistance, which can further impact ovulation and conception

Hormonal imbalances can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

• Stress
• Poor diet and nutrition
• Lack of sleep
• Certain medications
• Medical conditions like thyroid disorders or PCOS
• Aging and natural hormonal changes 

Common symptoms of hormonal imbalance include:

• Fatigue
• Weight gain or loss
• Mood changes
• Irregular periods
• Low libido
• Hair loss
• Acne
• Hot flashes

Some natural ways to help balance hormones include:

• Eating a nutrient-dense diet with healthy fats, protein, and complex carbs
• Exercising regularly
• Managing stress through techniques like meditation or yoga
• Getting enough quality sleep
• Limiting exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals

You should see a doctor if you experience persistent symptoms like:

• Irregular menstrual cycles
• Unexplained weight changes
• Severe mood swings
• Infertility
• Signs of thyroid dysfunction 

Treatment for hormonal imbalances depends on the cause, but may include:

The key is working closely with a healthcare provider to find the right treatment approach.
