Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition that affects a woman’s ovaries. Unfortunately, there is no certain known cause, but it has been linked with hormone levels. PCOS causes a range of symptoms, but there are 3 primary ones which are irregular periods, enlarged ovaries (“polycystic”) and excess androgen (a high level of “male” hormones in the body, which can lead to excessive facial or body hair).
If you feel you are suffering with PCOS then it is very important to seek a medical opinion. Whilst there are alternative options such as Metformin to aid with some of the symptoms such as blood sugar levels (which can also be adversely impacted), it is important to first gain a definite diagnosis and understand the condition.
