Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal imbalance affecting millions of women worldwide. It can disrupt your menstrual cycle, cause unwanted hair growth, and make it harder to lose weight. But fear not! PCOS is a manageable condition, and with the right knowledge and support, you can thrive.
What is PCOS?
PCOS disrupts your body’s production of hormones. This imbalance leads to the development of small cysts in your ovaries, though these aren’t actual cysts in the traditional sense. The hormonal fluctuations cause the symptoms we commonly associate with PCOS.
Symptoms:
- Irregular periods or no periods at all
- Excess hair growth on the face, chin, or chest
- Acne breakouts
- Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Skin darkening around the neck and armpits
- Sleep apnea
- Difficulty getting pregnant
Living with PCOS:
Diagnosis doesn’t have to hold you back. Here are some ways to manage your symptoms and live a healthy life:
- Diet and Exercise: Eating a balanced diet and getting regular exercise can significantly improve insulin sensitivity and overall health.
- Lifestyle Changes: Managing stress, getting enough sleep, and maintaining a healthy weight can all contribute to feeling better.
