What is PCOS?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is a chronic disorder in which hormonal disbalance causes swelling and enlargement of one or both ovaries. PCOS results in the growth of small cysts surrounding the follicles of the ovary.
PCOS is a very common condition primarily seen in women in their 20s and 30s. The condition primarily emanates from a disbalance of hormones in the body which prevents the follicles from developing eggs.
Women with PCOS suffer high irregularities in periods accompanied by signs of hormone imbalance. PCOS doesn't necessarily cause infertility, however, if ovulation stops totally, it may lead to infertility.

What are the most common symptoms of PCOS?
Irregular Period cycle and duration is perhaps the most observed symptom of PCOS. Abnormal menstrual cycle causes abruptions in growth of healthy eggs. This is why some women with PCOS become infertile.
Nearly 65% of patients who are diagnosed with PCOS have very oily skin with acne spread all over her face. In some severe cases, women come with signs of early stage baldness, of mainly male pattern.
Having PCOS indicates elevated Androgen levels in the body. This surplus in Androgens causes increased hair growth. Hirsutism (excessive growth of hair on skin and face) is a common symptom of PCOS.
Some patients who have visited us described their issues regarding increasing body weight and maintaining body fat. Our experts consider such problems to be a key indicator of underlying PCOS in the patient.
