Features of PCOS

Key Features of PCOS
Irregular Periods: Women with PCOS often have infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods. Some may have fewer than nine periods a year, or their periods may be absent altogether.
Excess Androgen: High levels of male hormones (androgens) can lead to symptoms such as excessive facial and body hair (hirsutism), severe acne, and male-pattern baldness.
Polycystic Ovaries: On an ultrasound, the ovaries of women with PCOS may appear enlarged and contain numerous small cysts. However, not all women with PCOS have cystic ovaries, and not all women with cystic ovaries have PCOS.
