Women's Health Care Information on PCOS
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome / PMDD Info

Women's Health Tips:
When it's not just PMS. Women who experience suicidal or homicidal thoughts during their menstrual cycle are not dealing with PMS but a far more serious medical condition called PMDD, or Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder.

Although the physical symptoms for both conditions may be the same, the drastic mood changes in PMDD require immediate attention. See your gynecologist immediately if you feel like harming yourself or someone else because you may have PMDD.

Ovary and Breast Health Challenges
from medical and spiritual perspectives

© 2006, Neva J Howell, All Rights Reserved, Updated 2008

Question on women's health and healing: I have polycystic ovaries and I am also suffering from Fibrocystic Breast Disease. How can I begin to release myself from these diseases and free myself from demonic entities such as negativity, bad luck, and fear?

Healing Facilitation response: I will provide medical information about PCOS first, and then follow that with spiritual healing information specific to your level of awareness.

As a spiritually aware being, I want to commend you. You have the realization that, in back of your manifested physical challenge, you are facing a spiritual challenge. Although I might not use the same wording as you did in your question, I understand what you meant by demonic entities, too.

Negative emotions foster disease. Anger, hate, fear, worry and grief all lower our immune system response over time and create an internal environment that invites disease and deterioration.

About Polycystic Ovaries

PCOS, or polycystic ovarian syndrome, is actually the most common reproductive problem of a hormonal nature, among women who are still of childbearing age.

Despite the name, a woman with PCOS may not actually have cysts but she will typically have problems with her menstrual cycle, either irregular cycles or no cycle at all.

Symptoms of ovarian cysts

A woman with ovarian cysts may have any combination of the most common symptoms, which include:

  • tenderness of the breasts
  • pain during intercourse
  • vomiting and/or nausea
  • abnormal bleeding during menstrual cycle
  • a persistent feeling of fullness in the abdomen or abdominal pain
  • a sort of dull aching feeling in the legs or low back
  • problems with fully releasing urine when going to the bathroom.

    About Fibrocystic Breast Disease

    This breast health issue is so common in women that, to call it a disease may not be accurate.

    Though the word fibrocystic may sound scary, the changes in breast tissue that a woman experiences when she has fibrocystic breast disease are benign. In other words, these fibrocystic changes are often not cancerous and not even considered harmful unless big enough to press on nerves, organs or blood vessels.

    According to Medline Plus, about 60 percent of women experience benign breast disease and this condition usually subsides after menopause.

    Insulin Resistance and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome:

    Did you know that being pre-diabetic also means you could be more at risk for this health condition? This is because one of the warning signs of diabetes, higher than normal glucose levels, is also a warning sign of higher risk of PCOS.

    A woman with higher than normal levels of blood glucose is said to be pre-diabetic because her insulin resistance is higher. Women who are insulin-resistant are at a higher risk of also developing PCOS so have your blood glucose levels tested to rule out insulin resistance as a factor.
