Complications of PCOS
The long-term health consequences of PCOS may include but are not limited
to:
· Cardiovascular disease (insulin resistance is linked to heart problems and
may cause endothelial dysfunction, diabetes and other abnormalities. PCOS
is also associated with decreased fibrinolysis, increased C-reactive protein
levels, and increased carotid intimal thickness which can all lead to
cardiovascular disease)
· Diabetes (insulin resistance associated with PCOS often leads to beta-cell
exhaustion of the pancreas and ultimately to diabetes.)
· Pregnancy-associated disorders (Women with PCOS have reproductive
abnormalities, including increased pregnancy-induced hypertension, and pre-
eclampsia. This condition develops in late pregnancy and is characterized by
excessive gain in weight, albuminuria, migraines, visual impairments and
generalized edema.)
·High blood pressure
·Elevated LDL "bad" cholesterol is a synergistic effect of PCOS that leads to
chronic elevated triglycerides.
· Cancers (PCOS women have a 2.5 times greater risk of having an
endometrial cancer).
· Seizure disorders
