Re: Moral Dilemma
PCOS happens because of hormonal imbalance. It is thought to be caused by an increase in the prolactin levels in the blood. Prolactin levels in the blood are controlled by hormones secreted by the Pituary gland at the back of the head and above the neck. Hence, there is a risk of tumors at that place. The tumors are mostly benign and can be removed surgically without leaving any side effects. There are other reasons as well. PCOS itself is not a cause of infertility. Infertility is coming from the harmonal imbalance, which causes irregular menstruation cycle and reduction in the release of eggs.
Pain in the abdomen should not be caused by PCOS, unless the ovaries have developed infections. Pain during intercourse?? It has nothing to do with PCOS.
There are many drugs for the treatment of this hormonal imbalance e.g., Dopergin. The success rate is very high and usually women can get pregnant with a couple of months of starting the medication. PCOS is a highly reversible condition if proper and regular medication is taken.
Dope as a friend (even if you don't plan to marry her), you must convince your friend to go see a doctor and go through a full check up. I can see she would be living in hell at this moment, wondering why in the world this has happened to her. Tell her it is curable and there are a large number of girls with this same condition. This condition is not going to go if she is going to sit on her problems and keep on weeping. It can only deteriorateby delaying the treatment.
Cheer her up. Show her light.
