Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age, characterised by irregular menstrual cycles, excess androgen (male hormone) levels, and polycystic ovaries. Symptoms may include weight gain, acne, thinning hair, and difficulty conceiving. PCOS is associated with insulin resistance, which can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and other health issues. Managing PCOS often involves lifestyle changes, such as a balanced diet and regular exercise, along with medical treatments like hormonal therapy to regulate periods and reduce symptoms.
