01.01.2022 September is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) awareness month. PCOS is a hormonal imbalance which affects approximately 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. Not all women with PCOS will have the same symptoms. ... Women with PCOS typically have irregular menstrual cycles as a result of not ovulating. Some of the other symptoms include: weight gain, excessive facial/body hair (hirsutism), infertility, acne, anxiety & depression. A blood test will usually indicate an elevated luteinizing hormone level & free androgen index (active testosterone). Ultrasound will typically show multiple follicles in both ovaries (on average 10-20 per ovary). Unfortunately it is often under diagnosed & misunderstood.
