Hiiiii



Hormones and PCOS. With PCOS, your reproductive hormones are out of balance. ... Androgens: Often called “male” hormones, women have them, too. Those with PCOS tend to have higher levels, which can cause symptoms like hair loss, hair in places you don't want it (such as on your face), and trouble getting pregnant.




Symptoms



Common symptoms of PCOS include:

irregular periods or no periods at all.

difficulty getting pregnant (because of irregular ovulation or failure to ovulate)

excessive hair growth (hirsutism) – usually on the face, chest, back or buttocks.

weight gain.

thinning hair and hair loss from the head.

oily skin or acne.




Causes


Higher than normal androgen levels in women can prevent the ovaries from releasing an egg (ovulation) during each menstrual cycle, and can cause extra hair growth and acne, two signs of PCOS. High levels of insulin. Insulin is a hormone that controls how the food you eat is changed into energy.



Cure


There is no cure yet, but there are many ways you can decrease or eliminate PCOS symptoms and feel better. Your doctor may offer different medicines that can treat symptoms such as irregular periods, acne, excess hair, and elevated blood sugar. Fertility treatments are available to help women get pregnant.
