Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder that affects ovarian function. It’s characterized by irregular or absent menstrual periods, elevated androgen levels, and polycystic ovaries, where the ovaries contain small, fluid-filled sacs. These imbalances can lead to acne, excessive hair growth, scalp hair thinning, and weight gain.
PCOS affects up to 13% of women of reproductive age. Many individuals with PCOS also experience insulin resistance, increasing their risk for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular conditions. While the exact cause is unknown, PCOS is believed to stem from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Diagnosis typically includes a review of your medical history, a physical exam, hormone testing, and imaging, such as a pelvic ultrasound.
While there is no cure, treatment can help manage symptoms and reduce health risks. A provider may recommend lifestyle changes, medications to regulate hormones, or fertility support depending on your needs.
