About Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Bengaluru
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age, characterised by irregular menstrual cycles, elevated levels of male hormones called androgens, and, in many cases, multiple small cysts on the ovaries visible on ultrasound. The condition disrupts normal ovulation, which can lead to irregular or absent periods and difficulty conceiving, while the associated hormonal imbalance also causes symptoms such as excess facial or body hair growth and acne. Polycystic ovary syndrome is closely linked to insulin resistance in many affected women, creating a bidirectional relationship with weight gain and significantly raising the long-term risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The exact combination and severity of symptoms vary considerably between individuals, meaning diagnosis relies on a combination of clinical features, blood tests, and ultrasound findings rather than any single test. While there is no cure, symptoms and long-term health risks can be effectively managed through lifestyle changes and medication tailored to individual goals, whether symptom relief or fertility.
