Introducing Symptoms of pcod and pcos​

PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) are common hormone imbalances affecting 1 in 10 women of childbearing age. While sharing similarities, they’re not identical twins. PCOS generally involves higher levels of male hormones (androgens) and the presence of multiple small cysts in the ovaries, while PCOD primarily focuses on the cysts without necessarily involving elevated androgens. Regardless of the specific diagnosis, both conditions can impact your menstrual cycle, fertility, and overall health.

Signs and Symptoms

Think of your body as a detective leaving subtle clues. For PCOS/PCOD, these clues might include

Irregular or Absent Periods

Infrequent or missing periods may indicate hormonal imbalances or PCOS.

Excess Male Hormones

High levels of androgens can cause acne, hair thinning, or excess facial/body hair.

Weight Gain

Often concentrated around the abdomen, commonly linked to hormonal disorders.

Ovulatory Challenges

Irregular or absent ovulation can lead to fertility issues.

Acne or Oily Skin

Hormonal imbalances may cause persistent skin issues, especially on the face.

Thinning Hair or Hair Loss

Scalp hair thinning can occur due to elevated androgens or hormonal disruptions.
