Metformin And PCOS - A Way To Treat PCOS And Ovarian Cysts ?

Are you wondering about Metformin and PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) ? In this article we are going to discuss if this is a way to treat PCOS and ovarian cysts.

Metformin is basically a drug that is prescribed to people with type 2 diabetes. It is a way to manage insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Metformin does three things. The first thing that it does is decreases the absorption of dietary carbohydrates into the intestines. The second thing that it does is reduces glucose production that is done by the liver. And finally, it increases the sensitivity of your muscle cells to insulin.

Diabetes and particularly insulin resistance (a precursor to diabetes) are thought to be a main cause of PCOS so prescribing metformin has been a way to treat women with this condition. By lowering insulin levels and making the body more hormonally balanced, doctors feel this can reduce the chances of dysfunctional follicles developing on the ovaries and the resulting cysts that can occur.

I am sure that you can see the benefits of taking Metformin but what are the side effects? Have you ever seen a medicine that promises to cure you of something but one of it’s symptoms is that it may make the condition worse? That’s just not right, let’s take a look at some of the side effects and then you can draw your own conclusions.

10%- 25% of women that take this medicine wind up feeling pretty rough. They may be fatigued and have achy feelings for different lengths of times. Not only are you going to feel like you’ve been run over by a truck but you may also experience GI disturbance and/or vitamin b12 malabsorption.

These two things may not sound all of that bad but let’s take a closer look. GI disturbance includes such things as nausea, vomiting, more frequent bathroom breaks(possibly diarrhea). This is especially true if you eat meals that have a lot of fats or sugars. This may lessen if you keep taking the medicine for a couple of weeks.

The vitamin b12 malabsorption happens because this medicine will interfere with your cell’s ability to absorb the intrinsic factor- vitamin B12 complex.

In Summary, as you can see Metformin and PCOS are a very complex topic and we have only scraped the surface. This may be a way to treat PCOS and ovarian cysts but I do not think by any means it is the best way to treat PCOS and ovarian cysts.
