Understanding PCOD & PCOS
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) are common hormonal disorders affecting women of reproductive age. They can cause irregular periods, excess male hormone levels, and the development of numerous small cysts on the ovaries, often leading to infertility.
Common Symptoms
- Irregular, infrequent, or prolonged menstrual cycles.
- Excess facial and body hair (hirsutism) or severe acne.
- Unexplained weight gain and difficulty losing weight.
- Thinning hair or male-pattern baldness.
- Difficulty getting pregnant (infertility).
