Demystifying Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age, characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, excessive androgen levels, and polycystic ovaries. Management includes lifestyle changes, such as weight loss and exercise, to improve insulin resistance and hormone balance. Medications like birth control pills and anti-androgens can help regulate menstrual cycles and reduce symptoms. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for reducing the risk of long-term complications such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. PCOS can also impact fertility, but various treatments are available to support conception.Voir plus
