Call Now: 044-4012-4012Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex hormonal disorder that affects women during their reproductive years. Despite its name, PCOS is not simply about cysts on the ovaries; it is a metabolic and endocrine condition characterized by hormonal imbalances that can affect multiple body systems.
In PCOS, the ovaries produce higher than normal levels of androgens (male hormones that all women have in small amounts). This hormonal imbalance disrupts the normal development and release of eggs during ovulation, leading to irregular menstrual cycles and the formation of small fluid-filled sacs called follicles on the ovaries. PCOS is more than just a reproductive issue—it affects insulin metabolism, cardiovascular health, and emotional wellbeing. The condition manifests differently in each woman, which is why understanding PCOS symptoms and treatment is essential for effective and personalized management.
PCOS presents with a wide range of symptoms that can vary significantly from woman to woman. Some may experience only mild symptoms, while others face more severe manifestations. Common PCOS symptoms include:
| Symptoms | Description |
|---|---|
| Irregular or Absent Periods | Menstrual cycles occur less than eight times per year or cycles longer than 35 days. |
| Heavy Menstrual Bleeding | Prolonged or unusually heavy periods when they do occur. |
| Excess Hair Growth | Unwanted hair on face, chest, back, or abdomen. |
| Acne | Severe acne, oily skin, or dandruff that doesn't respond to typical treatments. |
| Weight Gain | Difficulty losing weight or unexplained weight gain, particularly around the abdomen. |
| Hair Thinning | Male-pattern baldness or thinning hair on the scalp. |
| Skin Darkening | Dark patches of skin, particularly in body creases. |
| Skin Tags | Small excess flaps of skin in the armpits or neck area. |
| Infertility | Difficulty getting pregnant due to irregular ovulation or absence of ovulation. |
| Mood Changes | Depression, anxiety, or mood swings. |
| Fatigue | Persistent tiredness or low energy levels. |
| Sleep Problems | Sleep apnea or poor sleep quality. |
While the exact cause of PCOS remains unknown, research has identified several contributing factors that increase the risk of developing this condition. Understanding these factors helps in both prevention and treatment strategies.

With proper treatment including ovulation induction, lifestyle modifications, and metabolic management, pregnancy rates improve significantly. At Unittas Hospital, 70% of our PCOS patients achieve pregnancy within one year of treatment.
