Understanding
PCOS
Let’s take a moment to understand what PCOS is and spread the knowledge to those who are unknowingly affected by this disorder.
Complex yet Common
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects the ovaries and reproductive system, affecting 1 in 10 women in their reproductive years. While that number may sound high, PCOS is under-recognized and underdiagnosed.
For women with PCOS, their ovaries produce unusually high levels of hormones called androgens – a group of sex hormones that are more prevalent in the male body, affecting their menstrual cycle and may lead to other health concerns such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and uterine cancer.
PCOS causes the body to stop ovulating correctly and develop small follicle cysts (fluid-filled sacs with immature eggs) in their ovaries. These cysts then increase the androgen levels, causing most of the PCOS symptoms and hormonal imbalance.
What Causes PCOS?
The exact cause of PCOS is unknown but there are several factors that might influence it, such as:
Family History and Genetics
Lifestyle or Environment
Abnormal levels of Insulin
and Androgens
Chronic Low-Grade Inflammation
Main Symptoms of PCOS
The symptoms of PCOS can vary between women. Typically, healthcare providers diagnose PCOS if you are experiencing at least two of the following three symptoms:
Women with PCOS usually experience irregular periods, light periods, missed periods or experience unusual heavy bleeding during their menstrual cycle.
Excess hair growth or acne are common symptoms among women with PCOS
Fluid-filled sacs known as follicles, containing immature eggs may develop around the edge of the ovary.

Is There a Cure for PCOS
Well, truth be told, there is currently no permanent cure for PCOS. While doctors would usually prescribe androgen blockers, synthetic estrogens, birth control pills and metformin, they usually only suppress the symptoms.
A holistic approach which includes a healthy lifestyle, stress management, and targeted supplements can help women with PCOS better manage their symptoms and support their overall health.
