What is PCOS?
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, commonly known as PCOS, is a hormonal condition which affects millions of women worldwide. It is a hormonal imbalance, which affects the normal functioning of ovaries, causing menstrual irregularities, infertility and excess androgen production.
Common Symptoms of PCOS
Irregular periods
Women with PCOS may have irregular periods, or may not
have any periods at all. This is because the ovaries are not producing eggs
regularly
Excess hair growth
WPCOS can cause excess hair growth on the face, back,
chest, and stomach. This is because the ovaries are producing excess
androgens, which are male hormones.
Acne
PCOS can cause acne on the face, back, chest, and other areas of the
body. This is because the excess androgens can cause the oil glands in the
skin to produce more oil
Weight gain
PCOS can cause weight gain, especially around the belly area.
This is because the excess androgens can cause insulin resistance, which can
lead to weight gain
Infertility
Women with PCOS may have trouble getting pregnant, because the
ovaries are not producing eggs regularly
Mood swings
PCOS can cause mood swings and depression, because the
hormonal imbalances can affect the brain and emotions.
Pelvic pain
PCOS causes pelvic pain below the belly button, often with cramps, throbbing, and affecting both sides near ovaries.
Brain fogg
Brain fog is characterized by confusion,
forgetfulness, and a lack of focus and mental clarity. Women
with PCOS often suffer from brain fogging.
