What is PCOS?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age. It affects how the ovaries work, leading to irregular ovulation and elevated levels of androgens (male hormones).

When untreated, PCOS can cause fertility issues, type 2 diabetes, depression, and even increase the risk of endometrial cancer.

Common PCOS Symptoms

If you relate to 2 or more of the following, it’s time to see a specialist:

  • Irregular or missed periods

  • Excess facial/body hair (hirsutism)

  • Persistent acne or oily skin

  • Thinning hair or hair loss

  • Unexplained weight gain

  • Mood swings or anxiety

  • Difficulty in getting pregnant

  • Skin darkening around the neck or underarms

⚠️ Many women normalize these symptoms for years—don’t ignore the signs.

What Causes PCOS?

The exact cause isn’t known, but factors include:

  • Insulin resistance – triggers excess androgen production

  • Genetics – family history increases the risk

  • Inflammation – chronic low-grade inflammation can affect hormone balance

  • Lifestyle factors – poor diet, stress, and inactivity worsen symptoms
