PCOS is a prevalent hormonal condition that affects women who are of reproductive age.

Lux Hospitals in Hyderabad provide individualized care to help women manage their cycles, increase fertility, and preserve general health.
What is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age. It is characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, excessive androgen (male hormone) levels, and the formation of small cysts on the ovaries. PCOS can lead to a range of health issues, including infertility, metabolic disorders, and increased risk of diabetes and heart disease.
Causes of PCOS
- Insulin Resistance: High insulin levels can trigger excessive androgen production, disrupting ovulation.
- Hormonal Imbalance: Regular egg release is hindered by elevated amounts of androgens, or male hormones.
- Genetics: Given that PCOS frequently runs in families, there may be a genetic component.
- Inflammation: Insulin resistance and elevated testosterone levels can result from chronic inflammation.
- Lifestyle Factors: Symptoms can be worsened by weight, poor diet, and inactivity.
Symptoms of PCOS
PCOS symptoms vary, but common signs include:
- Irregular Periods: Infrequent, prolonged, or absent menstrual cycles.
- Excess Hair Growth (Hirsutism): Unwanted hair on the face, chest, or back.
- Weight Gain: Keeping a healthy weight might be challenging.
- Acne and Oily Skin: Increased androgen levels can cause severe breakouts.
- Thinning Hair: Hair loss similar to male-pattern baldness.
- Dark Patches on Skin: Acanthosis nigricans, often seen around the neck, armpits, or groin.
Treatment for PCOS is personalized based on symptoms and health goals. Our specialists focus on hormonal balance, symptom relief, and long-term wellnes
