What is PCOS?

PCOS is a common problem that affects women, especially those of childbearing age. The condition occurs due to a variety of causes and results in one or more hormonal imbalances.

PCOS symptoms vary in severity and may be associated with other conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure. The most common symptoms are headache, fatigue, poor appetite, and poor sleep.

What are the causes of PCOS?

The causes of PCOS are not entirely known. It has been theorized, however, that the condition may result from an imbalance of certain hormones, such as the androgen and the progesterone. This imbalance may cause the body to produce excess insulin, which can result in high blood sugar. The androgen may also cause the body to produce more fat, and excess fat can lead to insulin resistance. This may cause the body to become even more insulin-resistant.
