Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in Florida: Understanding the Challenge
What is PCOS?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age. It is characterized by prolonged or infrequent menstrual periods or excess male hormone (androgen) levels. Women with PCOS may have enlarged ovaries containing fluid-filled sacs or follicles. This can lead to various health issues, including infertility, weight gain, and an increased risk of diabetes.
Symptoms to Watch For: Do I Have PCOS?
PCOS symptoms vary, but they often include irregular menstrual cycles, excessive hair growth, acne, and weight gain. If you’re experiencing these symptoms, it’s important to seek medical advice as early intervention can help manage the condition more effectively.
Why is PCOS a Concern?
Beyond the discomfort and inconvenience of its symptoms, PCOS can lead to more serious health issues, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and endometrial cancer. It’s crucial to address PCOS not just for symptom relief but also to reduce these associated health risks.
