  3. Introduction Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS is a health problem that afflicts 1 in 10 women in the United States. PCOS creates a hormone imbalance and an imbalance in your metabolism. This can affect many facets of your health including your fertility. PCOS is treatable and although women can be diagnosed any time after puberty, most women with PCOS are diagnosed in their 20’s and 30’s, usually after trying unsuccessfully to conceive. The polycystic name is a misnomer as these women do not actually have cysts, but rather an accumulation of too many follicles (eggs), that resemble cysts.  Although doctors have recognized and studied PCOS since it was first discovered in 1721, the exact cause of the condition isn’t known. Some doctors feel it is genetic, while others have other ideas.

  4. SIGNS  The Most Common Signs of PCOS: • Abnormal hair growth such as on the face, chest or back or male pattern baldness. This is attributed to the excess of androgens. • Mood changes may be present due to the extreme imbalance of hormones. • Excess skin such as skin tags in the arm pits and around the neck. • Hyper-pigmentation and darkening of the skin, typically around the neck. • Weight gain, especially in the midsection and difficulty losing weight caused by insulin resistance. Male type obesity is more common, which refers to central obesity.

  5. CAUSES Genes, insulin resistance, and inflammation have all been linked to excess androgen production. • Genes : It’s likely that many genes not just one contribute to the condition  • Insulin resistance : Insulin is a hormone the pancreas produces to help the body use sugar from foods for energy. • Inflammation : Women with PCOS often have increased levels of inflammation in their body. Being overweight can also contribute to inflammation. 

  6. RISKS • Type 2 diabetes is a symptom and a serious risk of PCOS. It is associated with insulin resistance. • Cardiovascular disease can develop in women with PCOS, even at a young age. Studies have found those women with the condition have a higher likelihood of high blood pressure, stiffness and clogging of the arteries, and high cholesterol. A buildup of plaque in the arterial walls has been seen in women with PCOS at alarmingly younger ages. And those women are at a higher risk for heart attack and stroke. • The risk of developing endometrial cancer is increased in women with PCOS with irregular or complete absence of periods. Those women with PCOS who do not desire pregnancy immediately, the use of birth control pills should be considered immediately to lower the risk of endometrial cancer.

  7. symptoms  • Irregular periods. A lack of ovulation prevents the uterine lining from shedding every month. Some women with PCOS get fewer than eight periods a year or none at all (10Trusted Source). • Heavy bleeding. The uterine lining builds up for a longer period of time, so the periods you do get can be heavier than normal. • Hair growth. More than 70 percent of women with this condition grow hair on their face and body — including on their back, belly, and chest. Excess hair growth is called hirsutism. • Acne. Male hormones can make the skin oilier than usual and cause breakouts on areas like the face, chest, and upper back. • Weight gain. Up to 80 percent of women with PCOS are overweight or have obesity. • Male pattern baldness. Hair on the scalp gets thinner and may fall out.

  8. treatments • Birth control Taking progestin daily can: restore a normal hormone balance regulate ovulation relieve symptoms like excess hair growth protect against endometrial cancer • Clomiphene Clomiphene (Clomid) is a fertility drug that can help women with PCOS get pregnant.
