What Is PCOS?
Androgens are a type of hormone (chemical messenger in the body). They are often called "male" hormones, but women make and use some of these hormones also. Girls and women with PCOS have much higher levels of androgens than normal. This can lead to changes in the body that include:
Multiple cysts (fluid-filled sacs) in the ovaries
Missed periods, irregular periods, or very light periods
Increased body hair growth
- Weight gain, worsened acne and dandruff
- Thickened or darker skin patches
The above condition was the cause of death of my sister in law.
