PCOS is a common and treatable syndrome. PCOS can lead to Anovulation which is defined as the inability to ovulate, if one does not ovulate periods may become irregular or there may be no periods at all. Studies have concluded that women who were overweight or severely underweight had decreased levels of estrogen both of which can lead to anovulatory cycles and fertility issues.
Insulin is a hormone that is heavily dysregulated in PCOS patients. Hormonal imbalances causes by an excess in insulin leads to an increase in the male hormones being converted to androgens and DHT. DHT causes an increase in sebaceous glands to release excess sebum leading to oily hair, skin and acne (face and body) Lifestyle modification, supplements and nutrition are key components in addressing symptoms of PCOS.
