Though PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is a fairly common condition—indeed, roughly ten percent of all women of childbearing age have it—there is still a surprising amount of misinformation about precisely what it is, and how it is remedied.

For example, many women believe that the condition ends at menopause, and on many levels this line of thinking makes sense. After all, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that is typically associated with irregular menstrual cycles and with infertility, issues that become moot after a woman experiences menopause. But the problem with this thinking is that it assumes these to be the only symptoms of the condition—and indeed, that it assumes the condition to be solely a matter of the ovaries.

The truth of the matter is that this condition is much more complicated than all that, and that while some of its symptoms may be remedied by the onset of menopause, the basic underlying problem doesn’t necessarily go away.

PCOS Isn’t Just a Fertility Problem

The bottom line is that, while infertility is certainly a major symptom, this condition affects the woman’s body in many other ways. At its heart it’s not an ovarian condition so much as a hormonal one, one with its roots in Insulin Resistance. When the body loses its ability to properly absorb glucose from the blood stream, it begins to produce an excess of hormones as a way of responding to the lack of insulin.

Insulin Resistance does not go away just because menopause begins, nor do all of its many symptoms go away. The hormonal imbalance can still be an issue, and, in fact, many of the symptoms—including thing hair, baldness, and the risk of heart condition—actually get worse post-menopause.

A Better Way to Healthy Living

So rather than wait for menopause and hope it eradicates PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), women who suffer from this disorder are left with other options—and fortunately, some of those options are good ones! Insulin Resistance is actually a wholly reversible condition. You can turn back its insidious effects simply by taking on greater nutritional habits and by exercising more. Both of these things will make a huge difference in eliminating the symptoms of this condition, helping you lose weight, and ultimately getting you feeling healthy and happy again!

The other thing a women suffering Polycystic Ovarian Syndrom e (PCOS) might do is to look into the Insulite Labs supplements that are available. In particular, the PCOS System offers hormone-balancing effects that have been scientifically calibrated to reverse the condition. That means there is very much hope here, and, for women who properly educate themselves and take the precautions necessary to thwart the effects of the condition, no reason why PCOS has to be a problem through menopause.

Insulite Laboratories, a Boulder, Colorado USA based company, is committed to reversing Insulin Resistance - a potentially dangerous imbalance of blood glucose and insulin. Scientific research has revealed that this disorder can be a primary cause of excess weight gain and obesity, plus Pre-Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes. Insulin Resistance can also underlie the cluster of increased risk factors for cardiovascular damage called Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome X) as well as PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) - a major source of serious conditions as well as heartbreaking female infertility.

Recognizing that there are millions of people who need this kind of systematic approach to reversing insulin resistance, Insulite Laboratories has, developed systems to address the underlying causes of Metabolic Syndrome, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), Excess Weight/Obesity, Pre-Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes.
