PCOS, or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, is a common hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age. It is characterized by a variety of symptoms, including irregular periods, excess hair growth, and weight gain. PCOS can also lead to other health problems, such as infertility, diabetes, and heart disease.
Understanding PCOS
PCOS is caused by an imbalance of hormones in the body. This imbalance can lead to the development of cysts on the ovaries. Cysts are small, fluid-filled sacs that can interfere with ovulation.
Symptoms of PCOS
The symptoms of PCOS can vary from woman to woman. Some of the most common symptoms include:
- Irregular periods or no periods at all
- Excess hair growth on the face, chest, or back
- Weight gain, especially around the abdomen
- Acne
- Thinning hair on the scalp
- Infertility
- Skin tags
- Fatigue
Managing PCOS
There is no cure for PCOS, but there are treatments that can help manage the symptoms. Treatment options may include:
- Lifestyle changes, such as weight loss and exercise
- Medication, such as birth control pills or metformin
- Surgery, such as ovarian drilling
