Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, or PCOS, is a common hormonal disorder that affects people with ovaries, often during their reproductive years. It can cause irregular menstrual cycles, weight gain, and excessive hair growth. The condition is linked to insulin resistance, which means the body has trouble using insulin effectively, leading to higher blood sugar levels. Many individuals with PCOS may also develop small fluid-filled sacs, called cysts, on their ovaries. While the exact cause of PCOS is not fully understood, genetics and environmental factors may play a role. Early diagnosis and lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, can help manage symptoms effectively.
