Alternative Ways to Treat Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Chromium Picolinate and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Attention woman suffering with Polycystic ovarian syndrome a.k.a: P.C.O.S.

Well let me first tell you I am not a Doctor, but I do suffer from P.C.O.S. I was diagnosed when I was seventeen years old. Which at the time the Doctors couldn't tell me much about the condition. Although the term is becoming more familiar these days I still have to do most research about it on my own.Thousands of woman suffer from this and probably thousands more don't even know they have it. The primary sign is an absent of your period or very irregular menstrual cycles. unfortunately your GYN usually tries to treat it with either birth control or synthetic progesterone. Those woman who can take birth control may see some relief of the symptoms only to have a new set of side effects from the pill. If your like me you might not even be a candidate for birth control. Then there is the synthetic progesterone which I have been treated with three times in the past. The problem with the progesterone that I have experienced is that it is only a temporary fix.

Before I get any further into the Chromium Picolinate part of this story let me first tell you a little more about Polycystic ovarian Syndrome. Maybe there are some woman reading this that don't even know they have it.
