Understanding the Link between PCOS and Cancer

They call it the C-word, a sort of ominous description for what is, to many of us, the most terrifying diagnosis possible. Indeed, along with just a couple of other conditions, perhaps, cancer is one of those words we least want to hear coming out of the mouth of our doctor. By contrast, PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is much less commonly feared—but don’t underestimate the savage effects of this disease, least of all because it actually has some fairly explicit (and truly sobering) connections to cancer. 

The good news first: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is reversible. We’ll talk about how in just a bit; for now, though, a few words about the link between PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and cancer might be in order. We might begin with a description of what Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) actually is. It is a hormonal disease that affects many women; in fact, it is the most common female hormonal disease there is, with somewhere between five and ten percent of all women of childbearing age suffering from the condition. It is characterized by a string of cysts in the ovaries; it can cause symptoms ranging from infertility and miscarriage to skin and hair problems; and its root cause is Insulin Resistance, a truly insidious hormonal imbalance.

Insulin Resistance is brutal, one of the most common causes of infertility—but it also establishes the conditions in which cancer often flourishes. Women might be especially vigilant about Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) because, in addition to infertility, it can also be linked to breast cancer. Indeed, initial studies have shown that PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and breast cancer have a common link—that is, that both of them can be traced to insulin imbalances.

So is a diagnosis of PCOS or of Insulin Resistance essentially a diagnosis with cancer? By no means! The good news here is that PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is imminently reversible. A company called Insulite Labs has done some pioneering research into PCOS and Insulin Resistance, and they’ve found that there are some basic lifestyle changes that can be made to combat the effects of these conditions. The first step toward healing is simply to increase exercise and start eating foods that are richer in nutrients and lighter in carbohydrates—not an easy lifestyle to make, granted, but a very doable one.

The other thing a women suffering Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) might do is to look into the Insulite Health supplements that are available. In particular, the PCOS System offers hormone-balancing effects that have been scientifically calibrated to reverse the condition. That means there is very much hope here, and, for women who properly educate themselves and take the precautions necessary to thwart the effects of the disease, no reason why PCOS has to be interpreted as a cancer diagnosis.

Insulite Health, a Boulder, Colorado USA based company, is committed to reversing Insulin Resistance – a potentially dangerous imbalance of blood glucose and insulin. Scientific research has revealed that this disorder can be a primary cause of excess weight gain and obesity, plus Pre-Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes. Insulin Resistance can also underlie the cluster of increased risk factors for cardiovascular damage called Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome X) as well as PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) – a major source of serious diseases as well as heartbreaking female infertility.

Recognizing that there are millions of people who need this kind of systematic approach to reversing insulin resistance, Insulite Health has, developed systems to address the underlying causes of Metabolic Syndrome, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), Excess Weight/Obesity, Pre-Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes.
