A common hormonal problem influencing women of reproductive age is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). It is defined by irregular menstrual periods, high levels of androgen (male hormone), and several tiny cysts on the ovaries. Insulin resistance, genetics, and hormone abnormalities contribute to the development of PCOS, though its precise origin remains uncertain.
Typical complaints include weight gain, acne, hirsutism—excessive hair growth—and infertility. Additionally, women with PCOS are more likely to acquire type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular illnesses, and metabolic syndrome. Clinical complaints, ultrasonic results, and blood tests assessing hormone levels define diagnosis.
The PCOS treatment emphasises symptom control. Regular exercise and a balanced diet, among other lifestyle modifications, help to increase insulin sensitivity and control menstrual periods. Prescriptions for pharmaceuticals, including metformin, anti-androgen medications, and birth control pills, can help to resolve metabolic problems and hormonal abnormalities. Doctors may recommend ovulation-inducing drugs like clomiphene citrate for infertility.
Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment will greatly enhance women with PCOS's quality of life. Long-term health and well-being depend on a complete approach combining medical treatment, lifestyle changes, and frequent monitoring.
