OvuloomWhat Is It?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects 6-12% of women of reproductive age. It's a hormonal disorder causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts. Symptoms vary widely but commonly include irregular periods, excess androgen (male hormones), and difficulty getting pregnant.
Common Causes
The exact cause is unknown but involves insulin resistance (affecting 70%+ of PCOS women), excess androgen production, chronic low-grade inflammation, hereditary factors, and obesity (worsens symptoms but doesn't cause PCOS).
⚠️ When to See a Doctor
If you have fewer than 8 periods per year, if you're struggling to conceive after 6-12 months, if you notice unusual hair growth on face/body, if you have persistent acne, or if you're experiencing unexplained weight gain.
💡 Tips & Management
Track your irregular cycles in Ovuloom — pattern data helps your doctor diagnose and treat PCOS. Exercise regularly (improves insulin sensitivity). Maintain a balanced diet low in refined carbs. Consider seeing a reproductive endocrinologist.
