Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder characterized by irregular periods, weight gain, and fertility issues. It can be managed effectively through hormonal therapy, lifestyle changes, and medication from qualified healthcare providers.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition affecting women of reproductive age. It involves enlarged ovaries with multiple small cysts and can cause symptoms like irregular periods, acne, weight gain, and fertility challenges.
Women with PCOS often experience irregular or missed periods, excessive hair growth, acne, weight fluctuations, and difficulty conceiving. Some may also have thinning hair or skin darkening.
The exact cause remains unknown, but factors include insulin resistance, hormonal imbalance, genetics, and inflammation. Elevated levels of androgens (male hormones) are a hallmark feature.
Diagnosis involves evaluating symptoms, blood tests measuring hormone levels, and ultrasound imaging of the ovaries. A healthcare provider assesses all findings to confirm PCOS and rule out other conditions.
Medications like birth control pills help regulate menstrual cycles and reduce androgen levels, improving symptoms like acne and excess hair.
Weight management through diet and exercise can significantly improve symptoms and insulin sensitivity. A balanced diet reduces inflammation and supports hormonal balance.
Insulin-sensitizing drugs like metformin and fertility medications may be prescribed to improve ovulation and metabolic health.
Yes, with a comprehensive treatment plan tailored by healthcare professionals, women with PCOS can control symptoms, improve fertility, and enhance overall well-being. Regular follow-up is essential.
