Hopes for PCOS suffereres

[Guest guest]

Considering various recent posts on ayurveda and personal

emails author thought it appropriate to post this material about

Panchgavya medicine for PCOS. Before we read about it, it is better to look at

attempts to restore hormonal imblance affecting PCOS women, through

bio-identical hormones obtained from women themselves. Author recollects that a

multinational big pharma collected large quantity of human urine from pregnanat

women in Hyderabad (India) few years back to make some bio-identical hormones.

 

HMG is a combination of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and

Follicle-stimulating Hormone (FSH) obtained from the urine of

menopausal females. LH and FSH are the hormones responsible for the

maturation of an egg and its release from the ovary. HMG is an

extremely potent ovulation drug. It is administered as a series of

injections starting about 3 days after a period starts. It is then

given for 7 to 12 days.

General information puts the overall ovulatory success rate with HMG

at about 75-85% in " appropriately selected women. " Its risk of

multiple pregnancies is about 20% per treatment cycle. About one-third

of those cases are triplets or more. Similar risks are cited for FSH.

In the August 2003 Fertility & Sterility, there was an article

discussing HMG and FSH in the treatment of infertility. Fifty women

with unexplained fertility were assigned to either receive HMG or FSH

along with Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), a technique whereby semen

is deposited directly into the uterus, closer to the fallopian tubes

where fertilization occurs. Pregnancy occurred in 15-20% of all women,

regardless of grouping. The length of time necessary to induce

ovulation was less with the HMG group. This, along with the fact that

HMG is less expensive than FSH, means that treatment with HMG is

potentially more cost-effective.

A Cochrane review comparing HMG to FSH in in-vitro fertilization found

that the success rates were essentially identical, both in terms of

total pregnancies and live births.

Similar results were obtained in a Cochrane review discussing HMG and

FSH in PCOS patients.

A study performed at Al-Azhar University in Cairo enlisted 100 women

with PCOS to undergo various infertility treatments. Ultimately,

pregnancies per patient and per treatment cycle (or each time you

begin taking a medication or undergo a procedure) were listed as

follows:

 

* HMG plus LHRHa (LH-releasing hormone analog): 55% per patient,

18.3% per cycle

* LOD: 45% per patient, 15% per cycle

* HMG plus HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin): 30% per patient, 10%

per cycle

* Clomiphene plus HCG: 20% per patient, 6.6% per cycle

* FSH plus HCG: 15% per patient, 5% per cycle

 

The authors' conclusions are that the best treatment option in PCOS is

HMG plus LHRHa, followed by LOD.

Data reported on InfertilityPhysician.com, a site maintained by

Pennsylvania Infertility specialist Michael D. Birnbaum, M.D., states

that there is a 17% pregnancy rate per cycle of treatment for HMG plus

IUI, versus a 7% pregnancy rate with HMG alone.

http://www.infertilityphysician.com/ovulation/unexplained.html

 

 

Success rates for FSH alone are about 10%, and with FSH plus IUI, 15-

18%.

A 1991 study published in Fertility & Sterility compared HMG to FSH in

PCOS Patients. Thirty women enrolled in the study and were assigned

randomly to receive either drug. Five single pregnancies occurred in

both groups. Ovulation occurred in 70-90% of women in both groups.

This study concludes that low-dose gonadotropins are the key, rather

than one medication in particular.

In a study published by the Journal of the Pakistan Medical

Association in 2004, IUI was performed along with the administration

of clomiphene, HMG, or a combination of the two in order to stimulate

ovulation. There was also a group that received IUI with natural

ovulation. A total of 209 couples participated, achieving pregnancy

rates of 15%. Induced ovulation was more effective than natural

ovulation, with HMG alone being the most effective ovulation

stimulator.

General risks for any type of hormonal fertility treatments include:

 

* Multiple pregnancies—depending on the source, risks run in the

20-25% range. About one-third of those are triplets or more.

* Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS or OHS)—this can lead to

electrolyte imbalances, and endangerment of the kidney and liver. The

risk of blood clots and even death is increased. Some common symptoms

of OHSS are abdominal bloating, nausea, vomiting, and shortness of

breath.

* Ruptured/Bleeding ovarian cysts—overproduction of follicles, when

unchecked, can lead to rupture and bleeding.

 

 

 

 

Havins seen some attempts world over to use human hormones, author

now looks at Cow hormones. In most Goushalals in India a medicine

named Nari Sanjivani is being made(see govigyan.com). This uses urine obtained

from

cows which are in good fertility. This urine is rich in their

hormones. This urine is boiled with Shatawari concentrate and the

distillate is mixed with crystal sugar so that taste is improved and

pitta raising quality is balanced. This is found useful in all

Menstrual diseases, Leucorrhoea, menorrhagia, Irregularity of

monthly periods, weakness, headache. Dosage is Morning 2 spoons,

evening 2 spoons with water dilution upto 3 times. Dosage needs to be regulated

by Vaidya.

 

Cow does not eat any cooked items and since cow eats only green

blood, i.e. grass, the urine does not have any any residues of

chemicals in the environment or food. Despite being in Mumbai, author

uses cow medicines from Akola for two reasons. Due to pollution free

atmosphere there, the cow urine itself do not have xenohormones. Secondly,

Cows are fed organic grass, where no chemical fertilisers are used.

Lastly, these are not industrial milk cows, they go for grazing

during day time, so that adequate solar energy is absorbed by them. The goushala

has maintained a particluar group of cows to collect their urine, as wished by

this author.

 

These are the secrets why Nari Sanjivani happens to give good

results. The reducing acne, blemishes on facial skin, regularising

the cycles and adequate flow are some of the results experienced. Many women had

lightened face skin within a week itself.

 

Only problem with this medicine is that since it contains cow

hormones, one needs to take under supervision. Pitta vitiation may occur, unless

prescription is balanced by other hormonal ghrutams. It becomes necessary

to see that hyperstimulation of ovaries does not occur. The medicine

may not give results if ovaries are already weakened by sunthetic

hormones or stimulators such as clomid(Clomiphene Citrate).

advised me to go for laproscopy. Im not sure if it is correct to go

for it. Since me and my husband are planning to go for a baby sooner,

she advised me so.
