Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent hormonal imbalance that affects women of reproductive age, often interfering with ovulation and menstrual regularity. It is characterized by a combination of irregular periods, elevated androgen (male hormone) levels, and the presence of multiple small cysts on the ovaries. While the condition varies from woman to woman, common symptoms include weight gain, acne, excessive facial or body hair (hirsutism), scalp hair thinning, and difficulty conceiving due to anovulation or poor egg quality.
PCOS is closely linked to insulin resistance, which increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular diseases. It can also lead to long-term complications if not managed properly. Despite its challenges, PCOS is treatable, and many women go on to lead healthy, fertile lives with the right medical and lifestyle support. Treatment is individualized based on the patient’s symptoms, age, fertility goals, and overall health.
