OverviewPCOS, or polycystic ovarian syndrome, is a hormonal imbalance that impacts women in their reproductive years. It's characterized by irregular menstrual periods, excess androgen (male hormone) levels, and the presence of many small cysts in the ovaries. These cysts are actually follicles, sacs that contain immature eggs, that haven't released an egg as they typically would during ovulation. PCOS symptoms can vary from woman to woman, but common ones include: Irregular or infrequent periods, or even an absence of periods Excess hair growth on the face, chest, stomach, or back (hirsutism) Acne or oily skin Weight gain or difficulty losing weight Baldness or thinning hair Infertility While the exact cause of PCOS is unknown, it's thought to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. There's no cure for PCOS, but there are effective ways to manage the symptoms and improve your overall health. Treatment often involves a combination of lifestyle changes, medication, and addressing any underlying conditions.
