What is PCOS?

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition in which the ovaries produce an abnormal amount of androgens, male sex hormones that are usually present in women in small amounts. The name polycystic ovary syndrome describes the numerous small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) that form in the ovaries.

  • Infertility
  • Acne or oily skin.
  • Male-pattern baldness or thinning hair.
  • Ovaries that are large or have many cysts.
  • Missed periods, irregular periods, or very light periods.
  • Weight gain, especially around the belly (abdomen)
  • Excess body hair, including the chest, stomach, and back (hirsutism)

What are the complications of PCOS? Women with PCOS are more likely to develop certain serious health problems. These include type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, problems with the heart and blood vessels, and uterine cancer. Women with PCOS often have problems with their ability to get pregnant (fertility).

  • Insulin resistance. Insulin is a hormone that the pancreas makes.
  • Heredity. Research suggests that certain genes might be linked to PCOS .
  • Excess androgen. With PCOS , the ovaries may produce high levels of androgen.
  • Low-grade inflammation. White blood cells make substances in response to infection or injury.

However, some previous studies show that PCOS could be linked to hereditary, lifestyle, and environmental factors that include early age of puberty, premature fetal development, family history of PCOS among first-degree relatives, physical inactivity, stress, and obesity among others

  • Be active. Exercise helps lower blood sugar levels.
  • Limit carbohydrates. High-carbohydrate diets might make insulin levels go higher.
  • Stay at a healthy weight. Weight loss can lower insulin and androgen levels. It also may restore ovulation.
