Common Signs & Symptoms of PCOS:
- Irregular Periods: Many women with PCOS experience infrequent or absent menstrual cycles, sometimes going three months or more without a period, or having periods that are highly irregular.
- Acne: Women with PCOS may notice persistent acne, particularly on the face, that may be resistant to standard treatments.
- Hirsutism: This refers to abnormal hair growth in areas typically associated with male-pattern hair distribution, such as the chin and upper lip, caused by excess androgens (male hormones).
- Infertility: For married women, difficulty conceiving may be the first sign of PCOS, prompting them to seek medical attention and eventually leading to a diagnosis.
