PCOS / PCOD
A common hormonal condition affecting ovulation and fertility.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), sometimes known as Polycystic Ovary Disorder (PCOD), is a common hormonal imbalance affecting women in their reproductive years. It's a complex condition with various symptoms impacting reproductive, hormonal, and metabolic functions. While its exact origins are still being explored, genetics and environment are believed to play significant roles. PCOS often manifests with ovarian cysts, though not always, making diagnosis a blend of symptoms and medical assessments.
Symptoms
Irregular menstrual cycles from disrupted ovulation
Excess androgen levels, which can trigger acne, excess body hair, and hair thinning
Ovulation issues that can impact fertility
Polycystic ovaries — multiple small cysts detectable through ultrasound
Weight management challenges that can worsen other symptoms
Insulin resistance, which raises diabetes risk
Emotional fluctuations, mood swings, and low mood linked to hormonal shifts
