Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder in women of reproductive age, characterized by the overgrowth of cysts on the ovaries. PCOS can affect a woman's ability to ovulate and have children, and may cause the following symptoms: Irregular menstrual cycles or no periods Weight gain or difficulty losing weight Acne and oily skin Excessive facial and body hair growth (hirsutism) Hair loss Insulin resistance, which can lead to type 2 diabetes Fertility problems PCOS occurs when the ovaries create too much of the male hormone (androgen) and not enough of the female hormone (estrogen), which can affect the body's hormonal balance. PCOS is diagnosed through a combination of physical exams, blood tests, and pelvic ultrasounds. Treatment for PCOS focuses on regulating hormone levels to restore ovulation and control symptoms. This may include lifestyle changes, fertility medications, and in some cases, surgery. ????⚕️In the following video, Dr. Carlos Ocampo, gynecologist-obstetrician-colposcopist at Clínicas Reina Madre, gives you 7 signs and symptoms of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. ????⚕️Remember that an evaluation by a professional is very important. ????Schedule an appointment at your nearest branch https://reinamadre.mx/sucursales/ Or ????call us or send us a WhatsApp???? at (55) 8526 6020 ????We will be happy to assist you???? 00:00 - Intro 00:27 - What is polycystic ovary syndrome? 00:43 - Symptoms 01:15 - How does PCOS occur? 01:31 - How to diagnose PCOS? #womenclinics #queenmother
