Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 36-year-old woman and have two kids (the younger one is four years old). I was diagnosed with PCOS eight years ago but did not have trouble conceiving, and my periods are normal. However, now I am having a lot of hair fall from the front side, chin hair, regular urinary incontinence, and I cannot lose weight. I have been overweight since my childhood. My height is 5 feet 1 inch, and my weight is 76 kg. I also had my gallbladder removed due to gallstone issues soon after my second child's birth. My HbA1c was 6 % (six months ago). Please suggest how I can improve my health and sort out the problem of urinary incontinence. Urinary incontinence has been happening for almost one and a half year, but I have been ignorant. The condition aggravates nearing my periods. I have also got my routine urine and culture tests done, which came out to be normal.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) is a lifestyle-related issue and continues lifelong, at time it remains in the dormant stage and does not show any symptoms. Your current symptoms of weight gain or difficulty in losing weight and facial hair growth happens due to excessive testosterone levels in the blood. Decreasing its level and losing weight can solve many PCOS-related symptoms. Urinary incontinence is a different issue but can be managed with some ayurvedic medicines and pelvic muscle exercises. The lower urinary sphincter is responsible for controlling urine flow from the bladder to the urethra. Due to infection or other issues, the sphincter loses its elasticity and control, which causes the dribbling of urine. Ayurvedic medicines can help strengthen the sphincter muscle.
Thank you.
