Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
Diagnosis and Treatment Options for PCOS
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is caused by a hormone imbalance in the brain and ovaries. This happens when the Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and/or insulin levels are elevated, causing the ovaries to make extra amounts of testosterone and estrogen, and not enough progesterone.
PCOS is the most common endocrine disease affecting women of reproductive age. Undiagnosed PCOS can display a constellation of symptoms such as:
- irregular periods
- increased androgen production
- acne
- pelvic pain
- gluten intolerance
- depression
- thinning of hair
- skin tags
- dark patches of skin
- thyroid issues
- insomnia
