What is PCOS?
Polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, is the most common endocrine disorder in women, affecting an estimated 5-10% of women of reproductive age. It was once thought of as being a fertility problem, but it is now know that PCOS is a metabolic disorder like diabetes that can have serious health consequences if not diagnosed and controlled.
Symptoms can begin at any age, they may develop during puberty and the start of menstrual periods may be delayed or not happen at all. Each woman’s symptoms may be different, but usually they will include some or all of the following:
- Excessive hair growth on the face, chest or abdomen
- Irregular or absent periods
- Abnormal bleeding from the uterus
- High blood pressure
- Acne
- Obesity, particularly centred around the middle
- Thinning hair or hair loss in a classic male baldness pattern
