Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), also known as polycystic ovary disease (PCOD), is a hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age. It is characterized by an imbalance of hormones, which can cause a variety of symptoms including irregular periods, acne, weight gain, and fertility issues.
The symptoms of PCOS/PCOD can vary from person to person, but some of the most common ones include:
The exact cause of PCOS/PCOD is unknown, but it is believed to be linked to insulin resistance, which can cause high levels of insulin in the body. This can lead to an over production of androgens, which are male harmones that women also produce in smaller amounts. This harmonal imbalance can disrupt the normal functioning of the ovaries, leading to the formation of cysts and other symptoms of PCOS/PCOD.
