PCOS is a hormonal disorder that affects women between the ages of 15 and 44. It is one of the most prominent hormonal conditions that affect millions of people around the world. Studies suggest that 70 per cent of women with PCOS haven't been diagnosed yet. Women with PCOS affect the reproductive organs that produce progesterone and estrogen, which control the menstrual cycle. It can lead to cysts in the ovaries, high levels of male hormones, and irregular periods. There is no definite cause of the disease, but many factors including insulin resistance, genes, and inflammation can lead to the problem. Some of the common symptoms of the disease include:
Endometriosis is a painful condition in which the endometrium, the tissue that normally lines the interior of your uterus, grows outside of your uterus. Endometrial-like tissue that has endometriosis behaves like endometrial tissue would: it swells, degrades, and bleeds with each menstrual cycle. However, this tissue becomes imprisoned since it has nowhere to go but inside your body. Endometriomas, or endometrial cysts, can develop when endometriosis affects the ovaries. Scar tissue and adhesions, bands of fibrous tissue that can cause pelvic tissues and organs to adhere to one another, can form when nearby tissue becomes irritated. If left ignored, the condition can lead to fertility problems.
Some of the common symptoms of the condition include:
Consult an endocrinologist in case you notice any of these symptoms mentioned above.
