PCOS Symptoms: It is very important to understand!
Hello beautiful ladies out there! Today we will discuss a topic which is quite common but very confusing- PCOS, i.e. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
In this the hormones inside the body get imbalanced and negatively affect our health in many ways. Now lets understand what actually symptoms of this disease are seen in the body.
PCOS symptoms: Please notice these signs!
1. Irregular period
The most common symptom seen in PCOS is irregular periods. In this condition the primary function of the ovaries gets disturbed due to which hormones get imbalanced. Sometimes there is heavy bleeding and sometimes there is no bleeding at all. If you are also seeing such signs then it could be PCOS.
2. Unwanted Hair Growth
This is called HIRSUTISM in English. In this, unwanted hair growth starts on your face, chin, or back. This happens due to excess of testosterone hormone, which is a male hormone. This causes a lot of discomfort and is also a symptom of PCOS.
3. Acne and oily skin
During PCOS, the level of testosterone increases a lot which also increases the oil production in the skin. And the extra oil starts appearing on the chest on the back and generally this type of skin acne is seen in adolescence, it also happens in adulthood and that too at extreme level then its a sign of PCOS.
4. Weight gain, difficult to loose body fat
During PCOS the body develops insulin resistance which effects metabolism by slowing it down and which results in weight gain. this is more prominently seen around the belly area. Insulin resistance is the major cause of weight gain during PCOS.
5. Thinning of hair or hair loss
This means that unwanted hair growth occurs on different parts of the body but on the scalp there is thinning of hair line and excessive hair loss. so if you are facing such condition in your body then it might be giving INDICATION towards PCOS.
