Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, or PCOS, affects 1 in 10 women of reproductive age, yet many women go undiagnosed or unaware of what’s causing their symptoms. At Ahura Nursing Home, we’re committed to helping you understand PCOS and take control of your health.
What is PCOS?
PCOS is a hormonal disorder in which the ovaries produce excessive androgens (male hormones), often resulting in irregular periods, ovarian cysts, and other metabolic issues. It can affect your ability to conceive, manage weight, and maintain regular menstrual cycles.
Common Symptoms of PCOS
-
Irregular or missed periods
-
Excess facial or body hair (hirsutism)
-
Acne or oily skin
-
Weight gain, especially around the abdomen
-
Hair thinning or hair loss on the scalp
-
Difficulty getting pregnant
-
Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
Not every woman experiences all these symptoms, which is why an early and accurate diagnosis is key.
What Causes PCOS?
The exact cause of PCOS is unknown, but genetics and lifestyle play a major role. Insulin resistance and inflammation are also closely linked to PCOS and can worsen its symptoms.
