A common confusion among women, is understanding the difference between having polycystic ovaries (PCO) and having been diagnosed with a Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).
Polycystic Ovaries vs Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
HRT
Replacing these hormones with versions made in a lab (called hormone replacement therapy, or HRT) ease many symptoms women can suffer during menopause.
Fertility
Hormonal imbalances occur when there is too much or too little of a hormone in the bloodstream. Hormones are essential to normal bodily function, and even small imbalances can have significant consequences.
Pregnancy
Fundal height is a measure of the size of the uterus and can be used to assess fetal growth and development during pregnancy.
Menstruation
The word ‘menopause’ comes from the Greek words ‘menos’ meaning month and ‘pause’ meaning to cease. Menopause means the monthly period stops. Menopause is the final menstrual period.
Pregnancy
The first trimester of pregnancy can be a little overwhelming. Your life changes with a couple of pink lines, and if it is your first pregnancy, you can be a little confused as to what to do next.
