What is PCOS?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age. It can lead to irregular periods, weight gain, excessive hair growth, and infertility.
Symptoms of PCOS
- Irregular or missed periods
- Acne and oily skin
- Thinning hair or hair loss
- Difficulty in getting pregnant
- Insulin resistance and weight gain
Treatment Options
Managing PCOS involves lifestyle changes, medications, and in some cases, fertility treatments. Diet, exercise, and weight management play a crucial role in controlling symptoms.
How PCOS Affects Fertility?
Women with PCOS may experience anovulation (lack of ovulation), making conception difficult. Medications like Clomid or Letrozole can stimulate ovulation, increasing the chances of pregnancy.
