PCOS stands for "Polycystic Ovary Syndrome" [https://www.endorheumacare.com/pcos.html], is a hormonal disorder among women that affects them during their reproductive age i.e. between the ages of 15 to 44 years approx. During this period many women have PCOS but they aren't aware of it. PCOS affects the reproductive organs of a woman which is a woman's ovaries that produce estrogen and progesterone hormones that are liable to regulate the menstrual cycle. But a woman with PCOS has elevated androgens (a male hormone; also produced by ovaries) that causes her some abnormalities with the reproductive system. Symptoms of PCOS include; irregular or no menstrual periods or heavy periods, worsening hirsutism (excessive body and facial hair growth), male pattern baldness, severe acne, heavy bleeding, obesity (excessive weight gain), dark & thick patches on the neck, under the breast and in the groin. What Causes "PCOS"? [https://www.endorheumacare.com/pcos.html] There are many reasons that cause PCOS and affect the reproductive organs of a woman in various ways. The main cause is the excessive production of androgen, the male hormone that prevents ovaries from producing reproductive hormones and eggs but results in severe acne and hirsutism. More often PCOS runs in families through genes as a genetic disorder. In most cases of PCOS, affected women's cells become resistant to use insulin (a hormone produced by the pancreas which allows your cells to use sugar) properly, in this way your body sugar level can rise and you may have excessive production of insulin. Excessive production of insulin may result in increased androgen production and can cause you obesity that increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. [https://www.endorheumacare.com/pcos.html] Women with PCOS [https://www.endorheumacare.com/pcos.html] have been found with low-level inflammation that provokes their reproductive organs to produce more androgen and can also lead to heart and blood vessel conditions.
