What is PCOS?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) emerges as a hormonal disorder affecting those with ovaries, usually in their childbearing age. It’s characterized by heightened androgen (male hormone) levels, potentially causing ovarian cysts and menstrual disruptions.
If you have PCOS, you may experience irregular or scarce periods, as hormonal imbalances can disrupt ovulation and make conceiving difficult.
Moreover, heightened androgen levels may interfere with the complete development or release of eggs from the ovarian follicles, making conception more difficult.
Symptoms of PCOS
- Infertility (due to irregular or absent ovulation)
- Irregular Menstrual Cycles
- Polycystic Ovaries (small cysts known as follicles on the ovaries)
- Acne
- Excessive Hair Growth
- Rapid Weight Gain
- Insulin Resistance (leading to higher levels of insulin in the bloodstream)
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Chronic Inflammation (affecting the lining of the uterus and the body as a whole)
