PCOS is the abbreviation of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. This usually affects women and how their ovaries function. When you suffer with this condition there are three main features which includes cysts that may develop in the ovaries, ovaries not regular in releasing eggs and the body having a high level of male hormones called androgens. The excessive hair growth can affect your face, as well as body and this condition is also knows as hirsutism.
Your GP will be able to make a diagnosis of PCOS if you’re suffering with two or more of these symptoms. All women have androgens, but it’s fluctuating levels that cause the problems.
Whilst the exact cause of PCOS is unknown, it’s mainly associated with the abnormal hormone levels in the body and it’s also hereditary.
