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.
