Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, often known as PCOS or PCOD, is a very common hormonal condition in women. It affects around 1 in 10 women of reproductive age around the world. On an average one in five women in India suffer from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). It often involves an imbalance in the hormones estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. This imbalance can lead to a variety of symptoms including

• Irregular Periods, Painful Periods,

• Hirsutism (unwanted hair growth),

• Hair loss, Male-pattern baldness or thinning hair.

• Weight gain,

• Acne and ​fertility problems.

​

PCOS affects women during their childbearing years (usually 15 yrs to 44 yrs), the awareness of PCOS is very low in the developed countries, many women having PCOS never gets diagnosed with the disorder, In a study, up to 70 percent of women with PCOS hadn’t been diagnosed due to the lack of its awareness.

​

What causes PCOS? 

The exact cause of PCOS is not known till date. Most experts think that several factors, including genetics, play a role:

• High levels of androgens. Androgens are sometimes called "male hormones," although all women make small amounts of androgens. Androgens control the development of male traits, such as male-pattern baldness. Women with PCOS have more androgens than normal. Higher than normal androgen levels in women can prevent the ovaries from releasing an egg (ovulation) during each menstrual cycle, and can cause extra hair growth and acne, two signs of PCOS.

• High levels of insulin. Insulin is a hormone that controls how the food you eat is changed into energy. Insulin resistance is when the body's cells do not respond normally to insulin. As a result, your insulin blood levels become higher than normal. Many women with PCOS have insulin resistance, especially those who have overweight or obesity, have unhealthy eating habits, do not get enough physical activity, and have a family history of diabetes (usually type 2 diabetes). Over time, insulin resistance can lead to type 2 diabetes.
