Background on PCOS
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age. It is characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, excess androgen levels, and polycystic ovaries. PCOS can lead to symptoms such as weight gain, acne, hair loss, and infertility. Understanding the hormonal imbalances at play is key to managing and improving PCOS symptoms.
Hormones Contributing to PCOS Symptoms
PCOS is primarily driven by imbalances in the following hormones:
Androgens (male hormones): Elevated levels of androgens such as testosterone, cause symptoms like acne, hirsutism (excessive hair growth), and alopecia (hair loss).
Insulin: Many women with PCOS have insulin resistance, which leads to higher insulin levels. High insulin levels can increase androgen production, exacerbating symptoms and making it difficult to lose weight.
Estrogen and Progesterone: An imbalance between estrogen and progesterone often results in estrogen dominance. This imbalance can disrupt the menstrual cycle leading to irregular periods, anovulation (lack of ovulation), and the formation of uterine cysts.
How Estrogen Dominance Causes PCOS
Estrogen dominance, where there is too much estrogen relative to progesterone, can worsen PCOS by contributing to hormonal imbalances that affect ovarian function and menstrual regularity.
Mechanisms:
Anovulation: High estrogen levels without the counterbalances of sufficient progesterone can prevent regular ovulation, leading to irregular periods and the formation of cysts in the ovaries.
Androgen Production: Insulin resistance, often seen in PCOS, can cause the ovaries to produce more androgens. Estrogen dominance can exacerbate this cycle by influencing the hormonal milieu that promotes androgen excess.
Inflammation and Stress: Estrogen dominance can increase inflammation and stress, both of which can further disrupt hormonal balance and exacerbate PCOS symptoms.
The Role of Supplements in Balancing Estrogen and Managing Irregular Bleeding
Targeted supplementation can play a crucial role in balancing estrogen levels, thereby alleviating PCOS symptoms and improving overall outcomes. Here's a closer look at the key supplements:
DIM (Diindolylmethane):
How to works: DIM is a compound found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and Brussels sprouts. It helps to metabolize estrogen into beneficial forms that are less likely to contribute to hormonal imbalances.
Benefits: By promoting the breakdown of excess estrogen, DIM helps to restore hormonal balance, reducing symptoms such as irregular periods and supporting regular ovulation.
Calcium D-Glucarate:
How to works: This supplement supports the liver's detoxification processes aiding in the elimination of excess estrogen from the body. It prevents the reabsorption of estrogen in the gut, further lowering estrogen levels.
Benefits: With less circulating estrogen, the hormonal environment becomes more balanced, helping to alleviate symptoms like irregular periods and reduce the likelihood of ovarian cysts forming.
Sulforaphane:
How to works: Found in high concentrations in broccoli sprouts, sulforaphane activates detoxification enzymes that help remove harmful compounds, including excess estrogen, from the body.
Benefits: Enhancing the body's natural detox pathways, sulforaphane supports hormonal balance and can contribute to more regular menstrual cycles and reduced PCOS symptoms such as weight gain.
