PCOS

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age. The hormonal imbalance which is caused by the ovaries creating excess male hormones. In PCOS, the ovaries produce unusually high levels of hormones called androgens. This causes the reproductive hormones to become imbalanced. Small cysts may develop on the ovaries due to lack of ovulation (anovulation).

Causes of PCOS

The exact cause of PCOS is unknown. There is evidence that genetics play a role. Several other factors also play a role in causing PCOS:

  • Higher levels of male hormones called androgens: High androgen levels prevent the ovaries from releasing eggs (ovulation), which causes irregular menstrual cycles.
  • Insulin resistance: Increased insulin levels cause the ovaries to make and release male hormone (androgens). Not all individuals with insulin resistance have an elevated glucose or diabetes, but insulin resistance can lead to diabetes.
  • Low-grade inflammation: People with PCOS tend to have chronic low-grade inflammation.

Symptoms

The most common symptoms of PCOS include:

  • Irregular periods: Abnormal menstruation involves missing periods or not having a period at all. It may also involve heavy bleeding during periods.
  • Abnormal hair growth: Excess facial hair and heavy hair growth on the arms, chest and abdomen (hirsutism). This affects up to 70% of women with PCOS.
  • Acne: PCOS can cause acne, especially on the back, chest and face.
  • Obesity: About 80% of women with PCOS are overweight or have obesity, and have trouble losing weight.
  • Darkening of the skin: Patches of dark skin, especially in the folds of your neck, armpits, groin and under the breasts.
  • Cysts: Many women with PCOS have small pockets of fluid in their ovaries.
  • Thinning hair: People with PCOS may lose patches of hair on their heads or start to go bald.
  • Infertility: PCOS is the most common cause of female infertility. Decreased frequency or lack of ovulation can result in not being able to conceive.
