Description

POLYCYSTIC OVARIAN DISEASE Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a medical condition that affects a woman’s hormone levels. This hormone imbalance causes the body to skip menstrual periods and makes it harder for them to get pregnant. It causes irregular menstrual periods, excess hair growth, acne, and infertility and contributes to long-term health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Birth control pills and diabetes medications can help fix the hormone imbalance and improve symptoms. PCOS treatment depends on several factors like age, how severe the symptoms are, and your overall health. The treatment also depends on whether you want to become pregnant in the future. FAQ How is PCOS diagnosed? Your doctor will ask about your medical history and symptoms. You will also undergo a physical examination. This probably includes a pelvic exam.
