Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal imbalance affecting millions of women worldwide. Characterized by irregular periods, acne, weight gain, and, in some cases, infertility, PCOS can significantly impact quality of life. At Hiremath Hospital, Dr. Bharati Hiremath specializes in PCOS management, providing women with effective, customized treatments to regain hormonal balance and improve overall well-being.
Understanding PCOS
PCOS occurs when the ovaries produce excessive amounts of androgens (male hormones), which can lead to an imbalance in the menstrual cycle and the development of multiple cysts on the ovaries. The root causes of PCOS are not entirely known, but factors like genetics, insulin resistance, and lifestyle may contribute.
Symptoms of PCOS
Common symptoms include:
- Regular or missed menstrual periods
- Acne or oily skin
- Weight gain, particularly around the abdomen
- Excess hair growth on the face and body (hirsutism)
- Thinning hair on the scalp
- Mood changes
- Difficulty in conceiving
