What Are The Symptoms Of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) – is known by several names such as polycystic syndrome or Stein-Leventhal Syndrome – is a hormonal issue affecting women’s health. PCOS can occur in women as young as 11 years old and is the main cause of female infertility. PCOS occurs in approximately 10% of all women.
Some of the symptoms of PCOS are:
- Excess androgen: Reactions thoughout the body of women are caused by the excess male hormones being produced in the ovaries. An excess of androgen can cause increased coarse hair growth on the stomach, face, chest and back. The excess male hormone can also cause male-pattern baldness and severe acne
- Ovarian cysts: Cysts, the fluid-filled sacs, are found using an ultrasound by your doctor. Patients may have ovaries with no cyst activity and still have PCOS. Also patients with multiple ovarian cysts are not automatically considered having PCOS
- Infertility: The inability to have children due to PCOS
- Menstruation problems: The most common symptom of polycystic syndrome is the lack of or irregular menstration cycles.. Irregular is classified by having cycles fewer than 8 times per year.
- Excess weight: More than 50% of patients with PCOS will be classifed as obese
- Skin tags: Skin tags are small patches of excess skin, usually found on the neck or in the armpit area
- Diabetes: PCOS causes the body to ineffectively use insulin, resulting in high blood sugar levels and diabetes. Sometimes also called Prediabetes
- Darkened skin: Also called Acanthosis Negricans, this is the darkening of the skin in areas like the neck, armpits, inner thighs, vulva or under the breasts.
- Sleep apnea: People with untreated sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly during their sleep, sometimes hundreds of times during the night and often for a minute or longer
