What Is PCOS?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition that affects how the ovaries function. It often involves:

  • Irregular or missed periods
  • Elevated androgens (male hormones)
  • Acne, excess hair growth, or thinning hair
  • Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
  • Insulin resistance and fertility challenges

 

PCOS is also associated with metabolic disorders, like type 2 diabetes, and can overlap with other conditions like endometriosis—making expert evaluation critical.

Who It Affects

PCOS affects an estimated 1 in 10 women of reproductive age, often starting in the teen years. It can impact fertility, mood, energy levels, and long-term metabolic health.

You’re more likely to have PCOS if you have:

  • A family history of PCOS or type 2 diabetes
  • Symptoms like irregular periods, weight gain, or acne
  • A diagnosis of insulin resistance, thyroid disorder, or metabolic syndrome

Questions & Answers

PCOS FAQs

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) – newly named polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) is a hormonal condition that affects ovulation, insulin resistance, and metabolism. It is diagnosed based on a combination of symptoms, lab testing, and clinical evaluation rather than a single test.

Common criteria include irregular periods, signs of elevated androgens (eg. abnormal hair growth or hair loss in a male pattern), increased acne, and/or polycystic ovarian appearance on ultrasound.
