Abstract

Sindrom policističnih jajčnikov (ang. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome - PCOS) je ena najpogostejših endokrinih motenj, ki se pojavlja pri ženskah reproduktivne starosti. Lahko povzroči razvoj težkih zdravstvenih zapletov, kot so bolezni srca in ožilja ter sladkorna bolezen tipa dve. Dejavnik, ki ima pri tem pomembno vlogo, je hormon inzulin, ki nadzoruje in uravnava presnovo glukoze. Ker PCOS povzroča motnje v njegovem delovanju, se lahko posledično razvije inzulinska rezistenca. Pogosti znaki PCOS so tudi prekomerna telesna masa, poraščenost, akne, prhljaj, izpadanje las in težave z menstrualnim ciklom ter neplodnostjo. Ti lahko povzročijo slabo samopodobo in posledično vodijo v resnejše težave, kot so psihološke motnje ali motnje hranjenja. Zdravila za PCOS ni, za najbolj učinkovit način spopadanja z njegovimi znaki sta se izkazali zdrava in uravnotežena prehrana in redna telesna dejavnost. S spremembo življenjskega sloga je mogoče znake ublažiti in v nekaterih primerih popolnoma odpraviti. Zaradi pozne diagnoze in pomanjkljivih informacij o PCOS, o čemer poročajo ženske po celem svetu, je to lahko zelo zahtevna naloga. Da bi jim omogočili čim boljšo kvaliteto življenja, se morajo strokovnjaki zavzemati za ozaveščanje žensk o znakih PCOS. Zgodnje odkrivanje te bolezni in ustrezna strokovna podpora je ključno za boljšo kvaliteto življenja žensk s PCOS.

Secondary title: Insulin resistance in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
Secondary abstract: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders, which occurs in women of reproductive age. It can cause the development of more serious health issues, like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The hormone insulin has an important role, as it controls and regulates the metabolism of glucose. As PCOS causes disturbances in its functioning, insulin resistance may develop as a result. Often symptoms of PCOS may include being overweight, having an abnormal amount of body hair, acne, peeling of the scalp, hair loss and problems with menstrual cycles and infertility. They can cause a poor self-image, which may lead into more serious issues like mental or eating disorders. A cure for the PCOS does not exist; the most effective ways of treating its symptoms have proven to be a healthy and balanced diet and regular physical activity. It is possible to relieve symptoms and in some cases completely reverse them with a change of lifestyle. Due to the late diagnosis and lack of information received, which is reported by many women around the world, this can be a very challenging task. In order to provide them with the best possible quality of life, professionals must strive for raising awareness of women about the signs of PCOS. Early detection of this disease and appropriate professional support is key to a better quality of life for women with PCOS.
