Understanding PCOD
PCOD is characterized by enlarged ovaries that contain multiple small cysts. These cysts result from hormonal imbalances that can disrupt ovulation, leading to a variety of symptoms. The exact cause of PCOD is unknown, but genetics, insulin resistance, and lifestyle factors play significant roles.
Common Symptoms of PCOD
Women with PCOD may experience:
- Irregular periods or missed cycles due to disrupted ovulation.
- Weight gain, particularly around the abdomen.
- Acne and oily skin caused by excessive androgen (male hormone) levels.
- Excessive hair growth (hirsutism) on the face, chest, or back.
- Hair thinning or scalp hair loss.
- Fertility issues, making it harder to conceive.
These symptoms, while common, can vary in intensity from person to person, making it crucial to get a personalized diagnosis.
