Question 1

can u be born with ovarian diseases?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The ovaries are part of a multi-organ system involved in the production of female hormones. This system operates on feed-back loops which control what hormones are produced and which organs they will affect. A congenital abnormality within the hormonal axis can lead to an ovarian disorder in a newborn. Also more causes are: genetic disorders, anatomical defects, congenital infections, &amp; more.

Accepted Answer

Insulin and  ovaries: Pcos is a manifestation of Insulin resistance, which indicates pre-diabetes or diabetes 2.There are many derangments including those of adrenal androgen, a higher free testosterone, eradication of/or irregular cycles.Hirsuitism and acne increase with these androgens. A woman's cycle becomes annovulatory. Glucophage (metformin) is the preferred treatment of the problem. Clomiphene is used to help ovulation.

Question 4

how might i go about finding a doctor that specializes in ovarian disorders?

Find a good Ob/Gyn d: Most ob/gyn doctors handle ovarian disorders in general. But if you have a specific type of ovarian disorder( like polycystic disease) or a cancer of the ovary, then you could seek a specialist for this purpose through consultation with your ob//gyn doctor.

Question 5

PCOS &amp; exercise: Exercise can help to manage the symptoms of PCOS, ;;like elevated blood glucose levels, and weight. However, PCOS is not "cured: by any known method at this time.
