Instead, they are given the advice to "Just lose weight" or to take birth control medication.
WHAT IS PCOS?
PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome) is a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age. It causes enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges. Women with PCOS may have infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods or excess Male hormone(Androgen) levels.
Normally the ovaries make huge amount of female sex hormones and small amount of male sex hormones. This helps regulate normal development of egg in the ovaries during each menstrual cycle.
In PCOS these hormones get imbalanced and they start making slightly more androgens (male hormones). This causes complete or partial stoppage of ovulation, acne, Hirsutism, and other symptoms.
In PCOS, eggs of follicles are not matured and are not released from the ovaries they form small cysts in the ovary, hence the name Polycystic Ovaries.
