POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME
The increase in luteal phase hormones secreted by the brain results in an increase in male hormones from the follicular membrane and adrenal glands. During the ovulation period, follicles usually grow to 15 to 20 mm and break, but they do not grow beyond 10 mm because male hormones suppress their growth. For this reason, ovulation does not occur regularly, and the menstrual cycle may be irregular, such as several times a year, or amenorrhea may occur. In addition, the endometrium remains proliferated, leading to abnormal bleeding and predisposition to endometrial cancer. In addition, symptoms such as hirsutism and acne may appear. Ultrasound of the ovaries reveals a "polycystic ovary" in which small follicles that could not ovulate are lined up like beads. Also known as the "necklace sign," 5% of women in their teens and 40s are believed to have these symptoms. Diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome (Reproductive and Endocrine Committee of the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology) have been established, and "1. There are symptoms of abnormal menstruation" "2. Many small follicles are confirmed in the ovary" "3. The condition is that the level of male hormone or ovarian hormone in the blood is high ”.

Insufficient autonomic nerve regulation: Due to imbalance of autonomic nerves, body temperature and blood circulation cannot be regulated properly, and various indefinite complaints appear as symptoms of poor circulation. In addition, if the autonomic nerves are not regulated naturally, it will always be hypersensitive to stress, which will accelerate the exacerbation of poor circulation. 3. Undernourishment: Fats, sugars, vitamins, and minerals are not well-balanced, which can cause damage to basic health. The natural healing power also weakens, the aging phenomenon progresses, and it causes lifestyle-related diseases. 4. Insufficient energy It is expected that energy metabolism will be lost due to poor blood circulation, and even the hormone balance will be out of balance, resulting in various symptoms.Even those who did not feel cold when they were young may complain that as they get older, parts of their body, such as their limbs and hips, become unusually cold and painful.

ENDOMETRIOSIS
Gynecological disorders include premenstrual syndrome, dysmenorrhea, menstrual pain and uterine fibroids, which are unique to women.
