Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
(PCOS) Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder that affects up to 10% of women of reproductive age. It is marked by hormonal imbalances that can cause a variety of symptoms, including irregular menstrual cycles, excessive hair growth, acne, and fertility issues. PCOS is also associated with an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other health problems. Treatment for PCOS typically focuses on managing the symptoms and reducing the risk of long-term complications. Lifestyle changes such as increased physical activity and healthy eating, medications, and fertility treatments can be beneficial for individuals living with PCOS. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is one of the most common endocrine disorders, and awareness and early diagnosis are key to improving outcomes.
