PCOS?

Question

Can anyone tell me what this is????

Answer

Polycystic ovarian syndrome- where follicles don't real ease eggs and stay as cysts. Usually marked by irregular periods, irregular ovulation, hormonal imbalances, etc.

Answer

It's a little hard to explain because it's so newly diagnosed and discussed and everyone has different t symptoms. 
Pcos stands for poly cystic ovarian syndrome. It's the leading cause for infertility in women. It is genetic...for example I got it from my dad's side of the family...my grandmother and my aunt have it. With pcos you produce more testosterone than normal. You can have irregular to non existent cycles. Overweight and very hard to lose weight and another main symptom I know about is hair growth where women usually don't have hair growth(face). There's plenty more to pcos and it's hard to explain. I'm sure some women have different symptoms than the ones I've listed. Some may have some of these and not have the others. Are you concerned you may have it?
