Let’s get to know what Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is, which affects reproductive health.
Parapuan.co – Reproductive health problems should also be of particular concern.
For women, there are many types of reproductive health problems.
One of them is polycystic ovary syndrome. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine (hormonal) disorder, affecting 5–20% of women of reproductive age.
If not treated properly, in the long run this PCOS will develop an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome and an increased incidence of endometrial (uterine lining) cancer.
Unfortunately, it is estimated that around 50% of women with PCOS are not diagnosed, so they do not receive proper treatment.
dr. Gita Pratama, Sp. OG, Subsp. FER, M.Sc,Rep, Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialist, Reproductive Endocrinology Fertility Subspecialist in Doctoral Promotion Doctoral Program in Medical Sciences FKUI explained about this PCOS disease.
“We studied about PCOS through research at the Yasmin Clinic, dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM) Kencana and involved 120 research subjects, namely women of reproductive age (18-35 years) who were diagnosed with PCOS with a body mass index of less than 25 kg/m2.
“They underwent a series of tests such as physical examination, ultrasound and blood tests to see various hormonal and metabolic parameters.
“In addition, there is also a special examination to look at the polymorphism and epigenetic mechanism (DNA methylation) of the KISS1 gene in the Human Reproduction, Infertility and Family Planning (HRIFP) cluster at the Indonesian Medical Education and Research Institute (IMERI) University of Indonesia,” explained Dr. Gita, as quoted of the release that PARAPUAN received.
