Understanding
PCOS
Awareness sparks change, and sharing it can turn struggles into strength.
Complex yet Common
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects 1 in every 10 women during their reproductive years. Despite its prevalence, PCOS is overlooked by many and often goes underdiagnosed.
In general, this condition causes an imbalance in hormone levels, resulting in unusually high androgens (male hormones) that can contribute to symptoms such as acne, hair loss, and irregular periods.
Moreover, PCOS can disrupt normal ovulation, leading to the formation of tiny cysts in the ovaries that further amplify androgen production. This creates a cycle of imbalance, making PCOS symptoms harder to manage.
What Causes PCOS?
The root cause of PCOS is multifaceted, involving factors like:
Family History and Genetics
Lifestyle or Environment
Abnormal levels of Insulin
and Androgens
Chronic Low-Grade Inflammation
Main Symptoms of PCOS
PCOS symptoms can vary widely from person to person. Most healthcare providers diagnose PCOS if you have at least two of the following three key symptoms:
Irregular menstrual cycles, including missed periods, unusually light or heavy bleeding, and unpredictable timing.
Hormonal acne, hirsutism (excess hair growth in the upper lip, chin, chest, abdomen, or back).
Fluid-filled sacs, or follicles containing immature eggs, may develop around the edge of the ovaries.

Is There a Cure for PCOS
Currently, there is no definitive cure for PCOS. Standard medical treatments typically include androgen blockers, synthetic oestrogens, contraceptives, or metformin. While these can effectively manage symptoms, they do not address the underlying hormonal and metabolic imbalances of PCOS.
Adopting a comprehensive approach involves making nutritional and lifestyle adjustments, implementing evidence-based stress management techniques, and incorporating targeted supplementation into daily routines. This multifaceted strategy can significantly improve outcomes for women with PCOS by promoting symptom management and enhancing overall health.
