PCOS- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOD-
Polycystic Ovary deficiency is a very common
condition in which women suffer from various
menstruation problems. Almost 10 of women of
childbearing age (14 to 44) suffer from this
condition. Here are some important things you
need to know about it. Its Causes The causes of
PCOS are still relatively unknown but it mostly
is caused by two types of hormonal
imbalance. Androgen Androgen is a male hormone
which is majorly responsible for male features
and male pattern baldness, but it is also found
in female bodies in some minimal amount. When
this amount is increased in the female body they
start experiencing abnormal periods as Androgen
prevents ovaries to release egg, this further
leads to multiple other issues like infertility
and ovarian cyst. Insulin Insulin is the hormone
responsible for breaking down food into energy in
our body, high levels of insulin is caused due
to a condition where the body develops insulin
resistance as a result of which blood insulin
level increases dramatically. This is majorly
because of unhealthy eating habits, insufficient
exercise and family history of diabetes. Its
Symptoms Some of the major PCOS symptoms
include Irregular menstruation periods, where
women suffering from PCOS get fewer periods than
normal. Even a woman gets periods more often, for
example every 21 days or less. Too much hair
growth is also a sign of PCOS, increased level
of male hormone androgen causes unusual hair

causes of infertility in women, along with
