Overview

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age. At E H Care, we are dedicated to providing a holistic and patient-centered approach to managing PCOS. Our treatment plans aim to alleviate symptoms, enhance quality of life, and prevent potential complications associated with this condition.

Symptoms

Recognizing the signs of PCOS is crucial for timely intervention. Common symptoms include:

• Irregular menstrual cycles (oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea)
• Excessive hair growth (hirsutism) on the face, chest, and back
• Acne and oily skin
• Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
• Thinning hair or hair loss
• Dark patches of skin (acanthosis nigricans)
• Fertility issues

When to See a Doctor

If you experience any of the above symptoms or have concerns about your menstrual health, it’s essential to seek medical advice. Consider scheduling an appointment if you:

• Have irregular periods or missing cycles for several months
• Notice significant weight changes or difficulty managing weight
• Encounter persistent acne or excessive hair growth
• Are planning for pregnancy but facing challenges

Causes

The exact cause of PCOS remains unclear, but several factors may contribute to its development, including:

• Hormonal Imbalances: Elevated levels of androgens (male hormones) can disrupt ovulation.
• Genetic Factors: A family history of PCOS may increase your risk.
• Insulin Resistance: High insulin levels can lead to weight gain and exacerbate hormonal imbalances.

Types

PCOS can manifest in different forms, which include:

• Classic PCOS: Characterized by irregular periods, excess androgen levels, and cysts on the ovaries.
• Non-Classic PCOS: Presents with milder symptoms, like hirsutism and irregular cycles, without cyst formation.
• Post Pill PCOS: Symptoms arise after discontinuing hormonal contraceptives.

Risk Factors

Certain factors can increase the likelihood of developing PCOS:

• Family history of PCOS or other hormonal disorders.
• Obesity or being overweight, which can amplify insulin resistance.
• Sedentary lifestyle lacking regular exercise.
• Early onset of menstruation or prolonged periods.

Complications

Untreated PCOS can lead to serious health issues, including:

• Infertility or challenges with conception.
• Increased risk of diabetes and insulin resistance.
• Endometrial cancer due to prolonged exposure of the uterine lining to estrogen.
• Heart disease and hypertension.
• Mental health challenges like depression and anxiety.
