The exact mechanism of this ovarian malfunction is still uncertain. It is however of multifactorial origin and inheritance seems to be important increasing the frequency of symptoms among 1<sup>st<\/sup> degree relatives. The PCO women have a characteristic android type of body structure, fat deposited on the belly, short neck and flat small breast. The definite diagnosis is based on ultrasonographic findings. The ovaries are larger than usual and carry large follicles situated around the ovary which look like necklace, falsely called cysts. Actually these follicles are very precious since they contain oocytes with the potential to be fertilized. However, their abnormal function results to high prolactin and testosterone, low estradiol levels and failure of progesterone production. Most of these patients fail to ovulate between 2 \u2013 6 months leading to subfertility. In addition the chronic exposure of endometrium to unopposed estrogens increases the risk of endometrial cancer at the age of 50-60.<\/p>\n<p>The risk for diabetes type II and hypertension is also increased later in life. Hence it is of primary importance that the patient understands the severity of the disease and future complications in order to accept and follow obediently the preventive therapy provided. Reduction of body weight and physical exercise (like aerobics) most of the times help to regulate the period once a month. In cases that there is no response or body mass index is high then oral contraceptives or progesterone tabs 14 days per month or ovarian drilling will definitely improve and maintain regular periods. The patients that did not receive any preventive therapy to regulate their periods are considered high risk individuals to develop later in their life high blood pressure, diabetes and endometrial cancer. Hence they should be examined every 6 months with 2 hourly post prandial blood glucose checks, HgA1c test, and transvaginal ultrasound for measuring the endometrial thickness and activity. Infertility cases are usually treated with gonadotropin hormones for induction of ovulation. There women with normal body weight but with abnormal menstrual cycle and PCO characteristics in the ultrasound. The preventive treatment is equally important in these patients. The PCOD probably is evident since childhood but symptoms and oligo-ovulation expressed during adolescence and adult life. That\u2019s another vital reason to encourage obese little girls to lose weight and exercise daily as a preventive measure to PCOD.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='av_promobox av-av_promobox-67c1b8e9697bc6253e4fca0d3ed3c085 avia-button-yes  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><div class='avia-promocontent'><p>\n<strong>Vasilios Tanos MD PhD,<\/strong><br \/>\nProfessor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, St. George&#8217;s Medical School at the University of Nicosia and Aretaeio Hospital in Nicosia<\/p>\n<\/div><div  class='avia-button-wrap av-av_button-56c0c563c33b74ca4940a3785deaea82-wrap avia-button-right '><a href='https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/en\/contact\/'  class='avia-button av-av_button-56c0c563c33b74ca4940a3785deaea82 av-link-btn avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-size-large avia-position-right avia-color-theme-color'   aria-label=\"Contact\"><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue805' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Contact<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_fourth-586d5a7772599657b90ecdbdf66a14c1\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_fourth-586d5a7772599657b90ecdbdf66a14c1{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_fourth-586d5a7772599657b90ecdbdf66a14c1 av_one_fourth  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_three_fourth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><div  class='avia-builder-widget-area clearfix  avia-builder-el-8  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '><section id=\"newsbox-2\" class=\"widget clearfix avia-widget-container newsbox\"><h3 class=\"widgettitle\">\u0386\u03c1\u03b8\u03c1\u03b1<\/h3><ul class=\"news-wrap image_size_widget\"><li class=\"news-content post-format-standard\"><div class=\"news-link\"><a class='news-thumb ' title=\"Read: The New 9 Vaccine against Cervical Cancer and Genital Warts\" href=\"https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/en\/new-9-vaccine-cervical-cancer-genital-warts\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"36\" height=\"36\" src=\"https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MEDIUM-36x36.png\" class=\"wp-image-487 avia-img-lazy-loading-487 attachment-widget size-widget wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MEDIUM-36x36.png 36w, https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MEDIUM-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MEDIUM-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MEDIUM-180x180.png 180w, https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MEDIUM-705x705.png 705w, https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MEDIUM-120x120.png 120w, https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MEDIUM-450x450.png 450w, https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MEDIUM.png 725w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 36px) 100vw, 36px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"news-headline\"><a class='news-title' title=\"Read: The New 9 Vaccine against Cervical Cancer and Genital Warts\" href=\"https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/en\/new-9-vaccine-cervical-cancer-genital-warts\/\">The New 9 Vaccine against Cervical Cancer and Genital Warts<\/a><span class=\"news-time\">April 28, 2017 -
