Pcos
1.
2. PCOS stands for Poly-cystic ovarian syndrome, which is a disorder that affects normal ovulation,
and thereby also affecting the chances of pregnancy. PCOS can be controlled and treated with
medicine and lifestyle changes, but according to a recent study by scientists at the University
of Birmingham, women with the condition are a double-time risk of developing non-alcoholic
fatty liver disease. Experts and doctors of Chaitanya Hospital agree to it.
3. The doctors from the hospital further stated that patients need to get screened for fatty liver
disease from time to time and should consider a complete plan for treatment for the rest of their
life. Usually, women with PCOS often seek treatment when they are trying to get pregnant, but that
shouldn’t be the case, given that the complications and effects can be more multidimensional.
