Women in their reproductive period face many challenges and problems. We can all agree it’s not easy to be a woman. And just when the reproductive phase is over, menopause occurs like “the cherry on top” whit its symptoms and problems. Every month, we successfully fight small battles with our hormones and all the things they cause. That is why it’s difficult but also a privilege to be a woman and to know naturally how to deal with all this throughout your life.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ovaries produce the hormones estrogen and progesterone, which we often call “female” hormones, but the ovaries also produce “male” hormones – androgens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Polycystic ovaries produce more androgens, and in women with polycystic ovaries, menstrual bleeding is irregular and sometimes may even last longer. Due to all the above, regular egg production and regular ovulation are disabled because a whole set of fluid-filled follicles is created on the ovaries and releasing hormones in the blood that will make the brain think that a new mature egg is on its way into the ovary.<\/span><\/p>\n
