PCOS is a condition in which a woman's hormones go out of balance, affects her menses, the way she looks, may make it difficult for her to conceive and ultimately if left untreated may lead her to develop diabetes and even hypertension.

The main cause is largely unknown. It may run in families. It is characterised by the presence of several cysts (eggs or follicles) in the ovary making the ovary get enlarged and tge follicles begin to produce more male hormones in excess of the female hormones. This will lead to abnormal or even absent menstruation (amenorrheoa), lack of or faulty ovulation and difficulty with conception.

This increased male hormones will also result in presence of abnormal hairs on her body like beards, on her chest, on her legs, abdomen as well as loss of frontal hairs (balding). It can also result in deepening of her voice (masculine voice). These hormones will also cause development of acne vulgarus (i.e. pimples) on the face and body that may be difficult to treat.

PCOS also causes excessive weight gain and difficulty losing weight. This will also result in inability of the body to use insulin (insulin resistance) and leading to more weight gain and propensity to develop diabetes.
PCOS also affects the way her body handles fat and this can lead to hypertension.

The good news is that PCOS can be treated. One may benefit from some medications or even surgery. However exercise and serious efforts at losing weight may just do the magic. Loss of 5-7kg of body weight may restore menses and fertility

Is it true that you are a gynaecologist?

If yes, your input will be appreciated.

ChelseaDr has basically spoken my mind.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is Characterised by scanty (or absent) menstruation, infertility, hirsutism (excessive hairiness) and Obesity and the sufferers often have multiple cysts in their OVARIES. The condition is caused by an imbalance between LUTEINISING HORMONE (LH) and FOLLICLE-STIMULATING HORMONE (FSH); this imbalance stops OVULATION and varies the testosterone output of the ovaries. The treatment may be with CLOMIPHENE; with a PROGESTOGEN drug; with LUTEINISING HORMONE-RELEASING HORMONE (LHRH); or with oral contraceptives. The treatment chosen depends on the severity of the disease and whether the woman wants to conceive. Although in rare cases, a section of ovarian tissue is surgically removed.
