Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age. It is characterized by a combination of ovarian cysts, irregular menstruation, hormonal imbalances, and metabolic disturbances. PCOS can cause various health complications, including fertility issues, weight gain, hair growth, and skin problems.
Symptoms of PCOS
Common symptoms of PCOS include:
1.Irregular or absent periods
2.Excessive hair growth on the face, chest, or back (hirsutism)
3.Acne or oily skin
4.Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
5.Thinning hair or hair loss
6.Darkening of the skin in certain areas (acanthosis nigricans)
7.Mood swings and depression
8.Difficulty getting pregnant (infertility)
Causes of PCOS
The exact cause of PCOS is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, hormonal, and lifestyle factors. Key factors contributing to PCOS include:
1.Hormonal Imbalance: Women with PCOS often have higher levels of androgen hormones and insulin, leading to hormonal imbalances.
2.Insulin Resistance: Insulin resistance, where the body's cells are less responsive to insulin, can lead to increased insulin production and higher androgen levels.
3.Inflammation: Chronic inflammation may contribute to the development and progression of PCOS.
4.Genetics: PCOS tends to run in families, suggesting a genetic predisposition to the condition.
5.Lifestyle Factors: Sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet, stress, and obesity can worsen the symptoms of PCOS.
