Do You Have a Diagnosis of PCOS?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex condition that requires a proper diagnosis from a healthcare professional. If you’re here, you might be wondering about your PCOS status.
Common Symptoms of PCOS
PCOS can manifest with various symptoms, including:
- Irregular periods or no periods at all
- Heavy bleeding during periods
- Difficulty getting pregnant
- Excessive hair growth (hirsutism) on face, chest, back, or buttocks
- Weight gain, especially around the waist
- Thinning hair or hair loss from the scalp
- Oily skin or acne
- Darkening of skin, particularly along neck creases, in the groin, and underneath breasts
- Skin tags in the armpits or neck area
- Mood changes, including depression and anxiety
Remember, having some of these symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean you have PCOS, and not all women with PCOS will experience all of these symptoms.
