Ovarian Cyst Symptoms ... Learn how to alleviate them!



So, how do you know if you have PCOS? The more of the following Ovarian Cyst Symptoms you tick, the higher your chances of having this condition.

The most common ovarian cyst symptoms are:

Obesity / excess weight that is difficult to lose. Note: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome / PCOS and Obesity are often linked together in a vicious cycle that makes it difficult to tell which condition came first and triggered the other. No matter which came first, both conditions often have a common denominator in Insulin Resistance and Estrogen Dominance.

Yo-yo dieting: no matter how many times you lose weight, it comes right back on again. Again, common Ovarian Cyst Symptoms are often implicated in weight gain and yo-yo dieting, particularly because Insulin Resistance is often at the root of the problem, and Insulin Resistance triggers food cravings which makes it easy to give in to food cravings and re-gain the weight, continuing the yo-yo dieting syndrome.

Infertility. Because there could be many reasons for infertility, it is often very difficult to pin-point infertility as a symptom or even as a symptom of Estrogen Dominance, but in many cases, these two conditions are at the root of the problem.

Lack of ovulation. Like infertility, it is difficult to know if you have a problem with ovulating unless you are trying to get pregnant.

Irregular periods, cessation of periods, or very light and infrequent periods

Depression

High cholesterol

High blood pressure

Acne

Recurrent miscarriages

Decreased sex drive

Hirsutism (excessive hair on the face and body)

Oily skin

Fatigue

Lack of mental alertness

Mood swings, irritability

Hair loss or balding

Abnormal vaginal bleeding

Skin tags

Estrogen Dominance (Click here for symptoms of Estrogen Dominance). Note: Estrogen Dominance and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome / PCOS are often linked together in a vicious cycle that makes it difficult to tell which condition came first and triggered the other. No matter which came first, both conditions have a common denominator in obesity and insulin resistance.

Insulin Resistance (Click here for symptoms of Insulin Resistance). Note: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome / PCOS and Insulin Resistance are often linked together in a vicious cycle that makes it difficult to tell which condition came first and triggered the other. No matter which came first, both conditions have a common denominator in obesity and often, Estrogen Dominance.

How can you learn to manage or alleviate these PCOS Symptoms?

If you have ticked off more than a few of the above Ovarian Cyst Symptoms, then it would be a good idea to talk to your family doctor about running tests to see if these symptoms in fact indicate a diagnosis of PCOS, Insulin Resistance or Estrogen Dominance. (Page 118 and 119 of the "Diet Free ... At Last!" Weight Loss Program e-book lists the most common tests that doctors run to help with the diagnosis of PCOS, Insulin Resistance or Estrogen Dominance)

If indeed, your root problem is Ovarian Cyst Syndrome / PCOS, which triggers the insulin resistance and Estrogen Dominance, it is important that your medical plan of attack is to address all these conditions at the same time (otherwise it is very difficult to break the vicious cycle).

By the way, it really is a "chicken and egg" situation where it is difficult to know what came first, PCOS, Insulin Resistance or Estrogen Dominance, but in the end, the strategies to overcome PCOS are the same: correcting the Insulin Resistance and Estrogen Dominance will alleviate the Ovarian Cyst Symptoms of PCOS.
