Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex genetic, hormonal, metabolic and reproductive disorder affecting up to 5 to 13 % of women of childbearing age. In a woman with the condition, two hormones – insulin and androgens (male hormones) – are produced at higher levels, which results in:
- Irregular periods
- Emotional problems (anxiety, depression, mood changes or low selfesteem)
- Unwanted hair growth
- Hair loss, acne
- Infertility
- Weight gain
- Risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease and endometrial cancer
- Not all women with PCOS will have the same signs and symptoms. Symptoms can also change with age.
