Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Symptoms

• Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common
  condition prevailing in women of reproductive
  age. PCOS can develop any time after a woman has
  had her first period (known as menarche). There
  are numerous instances where PCOS development can
  occur in later reproductive years, as a response
  to certain hormonal factor.  PCOS has various
  signs and symptoms-one felt by the patient, and
  one deduced by the doctor on thorough examination
  and medical counseling.
• In order to reach a definitive diagnosis of PCOS,
  your doctor will observe for atleast one of these
  two symptoms.
• Irregular periods
• Excess androgen

Other symptoms of PCOS include

• Acne
• Weight gain
• Anxiety or depression
• Infertility
• People with PCOS often have co-existing chronic
  disorders such as diabetes, hypertension, and
  high cholesterol, and which should not be
  confounded as symptoms. These conditions lead to
  increased weight gain in PCOS patients.

PCOS causes and treatment

• Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Symptoms Pain
• PCOS is more often accompanied by pain, and pain
  is one of the common symptoms of PCOS.  However,
  pain is not associated with PCOS per se but from
  other causes such as ovulation and cysts, which
  are transient and heal with time.
• PCOS Symptoms  Treatment
• The treatment for PCOS consists if individually
  treating each accompanying symptom, and varies
  between patients, and the treatment is highly
  individualistic. Along with medication, lifestyle
  modification strategies such as physical exercise
  and healthy diet prove to be of equal benefit and
  significance as that of medications to treat
  PCOS.

Lifestyle changes

• PCOS is highly linked with obesity (excess fat
  tissue in the body), and hence as a lifestyle
  modification strategy, the doctor will first
  recommend losing weight by resorting to proper
  physical exercise and diet. The effectiveness of
  PCOS medications also tend to improve with
  reduced weight.
• As aforementioned, a low-fat diet is associated
  with great improvements leading to alleviation of
  symptoms of PCOS. A typically recommended weight
  loss amounts to reduction of 5 of your body
  weight, for example If your weight is say 60 kg,
  you need to lose your weight by atleast 3 kg to
  start with.
