What is PCOS?

PCOS is a condition that affects the ovaries and the egg production process is disrupted. Female with PCOS has higher levels of androgens than normal this interferes with the production of eggs and the regular menstrual cycle. In some cases, small fluid-filled sacks or cysts may be formed around ovaries.

According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), about 5-10% of women of reproductive age are affected by PCOS (ACOG, 2021). The symptoms may vary from one woman to another such as difficulty in conceiving, emotional distress, formation of acne, and unwanted facial hair.

Symptoms of PCOS

PCOS has many different symptoms, but these are the most common symptoms

1.                  Irregular Periods: Due to anovulation that is lack of ovulation may experience infrequent, absent, or prolonged menstrual cycles

2.                  Excess Androgen: Having high levels of androgen can result in excessive hair, acne, and male pattern baldness.

3.                  Polycystic Ovaries: When the ovaries appear enlarged with multiple small cysts that can only be detected by ultrasound, but not in all cases you will see cysts in PCOS.

4.                  Infertility: Lack of ovulation which leads to no egg release regularly, makes it the common cause of infertility in women.

5.                  Weight Gain: Due to insulin resistance, women with PCOS may struggle to lose weight.

6.                  Skin Issues: One of the main symptoms is oily skin & acne which becomes difficult to control due to elevated androgen levels.

Causes of PCOS

It is believed due to the combination of genetic and environmental factors females may experience PCOS, but the exact cause is unclear. Below are a few causes that can contribute to the development of PCOS:

1.                  Genetics: Having a family history can increase the chances of PCOS. Studies show that women with a mother or sister with PCOS are more likely to develop it themselves (Zhao et al., 2018).

2.                  Hormonal Imbalance: Increased levels of androgens can disturb the normal ovulation process. With PCOS you have an imbalance level of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone which helps to have a normal menstrual cycle.

3.                  Insulin Resistance: In many cases, insulin resistance may be associated with PCOS, where body cells are less responsive to insulin causing high blood sugar. This can result in weight gain and an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes (Moran et al., 2010).

4.                  Inflammation: Inflammation can exacerbate insulin resistance and other symptoms of PCOS, including weight gain and acne (Palioura et al., 2018).

5.                   

Diagnosis of PCOS

A combination of clinical evaluations can help in diagnosing PCOS, which includes medical history, blood tests, and imaging mostly ultrasound. You should visit your doctor if at least 2 criteria are present:

•         Irregular or absent menstrual cycles

•         Signs of hyperandrogenism (e.g., excessive hair growth, acne)

•         Polycystic ovaries visible on ultrasound (although this is not always necessary for a diagnosis)

To check the level of hormones, a blood test must be done, and to know the presence of cysts on the ovaries and the condition of the ovary, an ultrasound must be performed.

Long-Term Health Risks With PCOS

Women with PCOS are at a higher risk for developing several long-term health conditions, including:

•         Type 2 Diabetes: Insulin resistance in PCOS increases the risk of developing diabetes.

•         Cardiovascular Disease: Women with PCOS are at a higher risk for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other heart disease risk factors.

•         Endometrial Cancer: Irregular periods and lack of ovulation increase the risk of endometrial cancer due to the prolonged buildup of the uterine lining.
