Polycystic ovarian disease or syndrome (PCOS/PCOD)

Polycystic ovarian disease or syndrome (PCOS/PCOD) is a common hormonal disorder that primarily affects women of reproductive age. This condition is characterized by a variety of symptoms, including irregular menstrual cycles, excess facial and body hair, weight gain, infertility, mood swings, acne, and more. The underlying cause of PCOS is complex and multifactorial, involving hormonal imbalances and genetic factors. Several mechanisms are thought to contribute to the development of PCOS, and treatment approaches often focus on addressing these underlying issues.

Hormonal Imbalances and PCOS

The reproductive system in women is intricately controlled by a delicate balance of hormones. Estrogen, gonadotropin-releasing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and progesterone are some of the key players in regulating the menstrual cycle and ovulation. When this hormonal balance is disrupted, it can lead to the development of PCOS.

1. Gonadotropins FSH and LH: These hormones are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland and play a crucial role in regulating ovarian function. In women with PCOS, there is often an imbalance in the levels of FSH and LH, which can contribute to the formation of cysts on the ovaries. These cysts can lead to irregular menstrual cycles and other PCOS symptoms.

2. Insulin Resistance: Another significant factor associated with PCOS is insulin resistance. When cells become resistant to the effects of insulin, blood sugar levels can rise, causing the body to produce more insulin. High insulin levels may trigger the overproduction of androgens (male hormones) like testosterone. Elevated androgen levels can disrupt ovulation and lead to various PCOS symptoms.

3. Low-Grade Inflammation: PCOS is also linked to chronic low-grade inflammation in the body. Inflammation can prompt the ovaries to produce androgens, further contributing to the hormonal imbalance seen in PCOS. This inflammation is associated with long-term health risks, such as heart and blood vessel problems.

4. Excess Androgen: Elevated levels of androgens in women with PCOS can lead to hirsutism (excessive hair growth) and acne. It also disrupts the regular ovulatory process, causing irregular menstrual cycles and potential fertility issues.

5. Heredity: There is evidence to suggest that genetics may play a role in the development of PCOS. If there is a family history of PCOS, individuals may have a higher risk of developing the condition.

eMedica Treatment for PCOD/PCOS

eMedica appears to offer a treatment approach for PCOD/PCOS that focuses on using specific frequencies, voltages, and currents to address the cellular parameters responsible for the condition. It targets various cell types involved in the reproductive system, including Somatotrophs Cells, Thyrotrophs Cells, Gonadotrophs Cells, Corticotrophs Cells, Follicular Cells, Granulosa Cells, and Theca Cells. By enhancing the charge of these cells with microcurrents, eMedica aims to correct their parameters.

This correction of cellular parameters may lead to the improved functioning of key reproductive organs such as the pituitary gland, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, prostate gland, and seminal vesicles. As these organs regain optimal function, PCOD/PCOS symptoms may gradually improve.

Additionally, eMedica therapy is said to reduce blood viscosity and enhance blood circulation. This can help balance the secretion of hormones required for the entire reproductive system and facilitate the healing of reproductive organs. By addressing these underlying issues, eMedica treatment aims to provide relief and potential long-term benefits for individuals with PCOD/PCOS.
