Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a condition, which causes hormonal disorder in women, causing the enlargement of ovaries with small fluid-filled sacs, called cysts, inside them. Periods happen when the ovaries release the eggs. The uterine wall that builds up to protect the egg sheds. Together they release the egg and the uterine wall cause the menstrual bleeding. In a healthy condition, ovaries produce the female hormones, estrogen and progesterone, and a small amount of male hormone called androgen. These three hormones cause menstrual periods, which is the periodic release of eggs (ovulation). Polycystic Ovary Syndrome triggers the excessive formation of androgen, which causes an imbalance of these 3 hormones.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a condition, which causes hormonal
disorder in women, causing the enlargement of ovaries with small fluid-filled
sacs, called cysts, inside them. Periods happen when the ovaries release the
eggs. The uterine wall that builds up to protect the egg sheds. Together they
release the egg and the uterine wall cause the menstrual bleeding. In a
healthy condition, ovaries produce the female hormones, estrogen and
progesterone, and a small amount of male hormone called androgen. These
three hormones cause menstrual periods, which is the periodic release of
eggs (ovulation). Polycystic Ovary Syndrome triggers the excessive
formation of androgen, which causes an imbalance of these 3 hormones.
First detected in 1721, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is characterized mainly
by the irregularities in the menstrual cycle. Three main features responsible
for PCOS are cyst in ovary, production of the high level of the male
hormone androgen, and irregular or missed periods. With more than 1
million cases in India per year, PCOS is a common condition in women. But
that does not undermine its seriousness. The health risks that Polycystic
Ovary Syndrome poises on women include difficult pregnancy, diabetes,
and heart diseases.
The exact cause of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is uncertain, but experts
assume that it is the combination of some genetic and environmental factors
that trigger this hormonal imbalance in women. Almost 70% of the women
don’t realize that they are suffering from PCOS until the symptoms like
excessive hair growth on face and body, acne, etc. worsen.
Symptoms
In Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, women fail to release the eggs normally which results
in irregular, skipped, or prolonged menstrual periods. Some of the most common
symptoms of PCOS are as follows:
Irregular periods: Cysts trigger the excess production of androgen that causes
hormonal imbalance and interferes with ovulation. This causes skipped or irregular
periods. Women with PCOS can have fewer than 8 periods in a year.
Heavy bleeding: When the uterine wall builds up for a longer period, it can cause
unusually heaving bleeding.
Hair growth: Studies have shown that excess hair growth on face and body,
hirsutism, is the most common symptom seen in women with PCOS.
Acne: Excess androgen production makes skin oilier than usual, which causes acne
breakout on the skin.
Weight gain: Obesity is a common complaint among more than 80% of the women
suffering PCOS
Baldness: Hair on the scalp starts getting thinner, which triggers male-type baldness.
