What is PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)?

PCOS is a hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age. But what exactly is it, you ask? Well, let me break it down for you!

"PCOS is a common condition characterized by irregular menstrual periods, high levels of male hormones, and small cysts on the ovaries." - (hghforbetterhealth.com)

What Causes PCOS?

The exact cause is unknown, but experts believe PCOS results from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. These include:

• Insulin resistance - Your cells don't respond well to insulin, leading to high insulin and androgen levels.
• Low-grade inflammation - This contributes to PCOS symptoms.
• Heredity - You're more likely to have PCOS if your sister, mother, or aunt has it.

Common PCOS Symptoms

• Irregular periods or no periods at all
• Excess hair growth (hirsutism) on the face, chest, etc.
• Acne
• Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
• Male-pattern baldness or thinning hair
• Ovarian cysts - Don't worry, they're usually harmless!

So if you're experiencing some funky symptoms, don't hesitate to chat with your doc about PCOS.

Managing PCOS: A Lifestyle Approach

While there's no cure, many symptoms improve with:

✅ A balanced diet and exercise to promote weight loss and improve insulin sensitivity.
