symptoms

PCOS signs and symptoms usually appear around the time of puberty’s first menstrual period. PCOS can develop later in life, for example, as a result of significant weight gain. Many women do not realize that they are suffering from PCOD. There are certain common symptoms of PCOD problems:

-Menstruation: One of the most common signs of PCOD is irregular menstruation. Due to a high amount of male hormones, the body prevents ovulation. Many patients of PCOD have fewer than nine periods a year.
-Bleeding: Since the periods are irregular, the buildup of the uterine wall is more. This leads to heavier bleeding whenever the periods happen.
-Acne: due to higher amounts of male hormones, the skin secretes more oil causing more acne.
-Hair Growth: Most women, who suffer from PCOD, have hair growth on their face, back, stomach and chest. The condition is known as hirsutism.
-Weight: Most women who suffer from PCOD are obese or overweight.
-Crown Baldness: Most women with PCOD suffer from male pattern baldness with the hair thinning on the crown. Some even suffer complete hair loss.
-Headaches: Headaches are triggered by hormonal imbalance.
-Skin Darkening: Those who suffer from PCOD observe a darkening of the skin in the groin and the neck region.
-Increased androgens: Excessive male sex hormones can present physically as excess face and body hair, as well as male-pattern baldness.
