What is PCOS?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects many women of reproductive age. It is characterised by irregular menstrual cycles, excessive androgen levels (which may cause unwanted hair growth or acne), and ovarian cysts. PCOS is also closely linked with insulin resistance, making it harder for the body to regulate blood sugar levels and increasing the risk of weight gain and metabolic conditions such as type 2 diabetes.
Common symptoms of PCOS include:
- Irregular or absent periods
- Difficulty losing weight or unexplained weight gain
- Fatigue and low energy levels
- Insulin resistance and increased risk of diabetes
- Mood changes, including anxiety and depression
- Increased facial or body hair growth (hirsutism)
- Acne
- Hair thinning or scalp hair loss
If you’re navigating life with PCOS, keep reading to discover key strategies for better health and management. A holistic approach is essential, and regular exercise is one of the most effective ways to reduce symptoms and improve overall well-being.
How Exercise Physiology Can Help with PCOS
Exercise Physiology is a specialised field that uses movement and exercise as medicine to improve health and manage chronic conditions like PCOS. At Longevity Exercise Physiology Rhodes, we create personalised exercise plans that address the unique challenges associated with PCOS. Here’s how exercise can help:
1. Regulating Hormones & Menstrual Cycles
Exercise can help balance hormone levels by reducing excess androgens and improving estrogen and progesterone balance. This can lead to more regular menstrual cycles and improved fertility outcomes.
2. Managing Insulin Resistance & Blood Sugar Levels
Regular physical activity increases insulin sensitivity, helping the body use glucose more effectively. This reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and makes it easier to manage weight.
3. Supporting Weight Management
For women with PCOS, weight loss can be more challenging due to hormonal imbalances. Exercise boosts metabolism, promotes fat loss, and helps prevent weight gain, making it an essential component of PCOS management.
4. Reducing Stress & Improving Mental Health
PCOS is often associated with anxiety, depression, and high stress levels. Exercise releases endorphins, which improve mood, reduce stress hormones like cortisol, and enhance overall emotional well-being.
5. Boosting Energy Levels & Reducing Fatigue
Many women with PCOS experience persistent fatigue. Regular exercise helps improve energy levels by enhancing circulation, oxygen uptake, and overall physical endurance.
6. Enhancing Cardiovascular Health
Women with PCOS have a higher risk of developing heart disease. Exercise strengthens the heart, lowers cholesterol, and improves circulation, reducing the likelihood of cardiovascular complications.
