Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition affecting women of reproductive age. At Hiremath Hospital, Dr. Bharati Hiremath and her team are committed to helping women understand and manage this condition effectively.
Common Symptoms of PCOS
-
Irregular Periods
One of the most noticeable signs is irregular or missed periods due to hormonal imbalance, which affects ovulation. -
Excess Hair Growth (Hirsutism)
PCOS can lead to increased levels of androgens, causing unwanted hair growth on the face, chest, and back. -
Acne and Oily Skin
Hormonal imbalances may trigger persistent acne, especially on the face, chest, and upper back. -
Weight Gain
Many women with PCOS struggle with weight gain or find it difficult to lose weight, particularly around the abdomen. -
Thinning Hair or Hair Loss
Some women experience scalp hair thinning, similar to male-pattern baldness. -
Fertility Issues
Due to irregular ovulation, PCOS can make it harder to conceive, though treatments are available. -
Mood Swings and Fatigue
Women with PCOS often report feeling anxious, depressed, or unusually tired.
When to Seek Help
If you’re experiencing two or more of these symptoms, consult a gynecologist. Early diagnosis and a tailored treatment plan can make a significant difference in your health and quality of life.
