Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) in India

Overview

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, or PCOS, is a result of today’s lifestyle and behaviours and is a common hormonal disorder affecting millions of women worldwide. It is characterized by a range of symptoms, including irregular periods, excessive hair growth, acne, and difficulty conceiving. While there is no cure for PCOS, effective treatment options are available to manage the condition and alleviate its symptoms. When your ovaries—the organs in charge of generating and releasing eggs—generate an excessive amount of hormones, a hormonal imbalance known as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) results. If you have PCOS, your ovaries produce an abnormally high number of androgens. Your reproductive hormones fall out of balance as a result. Missed periods, irregular ovulation, and unpredictable menstrual cycles tend to occur in people with PCOS

Infertility in women and those who were designated female at birth (AFAB) is frequently caused by PCOS. It may also raise your risk of developing additional medical problems. Based on your symptoms and if you want to get pregnant, your doctor can prescribe treatment for PCOS. Despite the fact that the primary causes of PCOS are unknown, there are a few elements that are frequently linked to the overproduction of androgen. Following are a few potential contributing factors to PCOS:
