TLDR PCOS is a hormonal disorder in women with no cure, managed by medication and lifestyle changes.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age, characterized by irregular menstrual periods, excess androgen levels, and ovarian cysts. The exact cause is unknown but likely involves genetic and environmental factors. Symptoms include menstrual irregularity, excess hair growth, acne, and obesity. Treatments include birth control pills, metformin, statins, fertility hormones, and hair removal procedures. Lifestyle factors like poor diet and obesity exacerbate PCOS. Recently, the Hyponidd tablet, an ayurvedic formulation, has shown promise in managing PCOS symptoms by balancing hormones, though further detailed study is needed.
