Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOD is a very common problem today. Every 1 in 10 Indian woman suffers from PCOD.
However, many women still don’t know PCOD problem symptoms. It is vital that every woman should know the symptoms, so that it can be identified, and treatment can be sought immediately.
Here are some major PCOD problem symptoms.
Trouble conceiving or infertility
One major PCOD problem symptom is that you cannot conceive. Infertility is a major symptom of PCOD. The hormonal imbalance prevents the ovaries from creating and releasing eggs. The ovulation process stops.
Irregular or Missed Periods
If you are having irregular periods and or missing it frequently, you might have PCOD. This syndrome disturbs the menstruation cycle since the production of egg is stropped and ovulation process is disrupted.
Mood Swings
Frequent mood swings, sudden burst of anger, constant anxiety, emotional instability, fits of depression are some symptoms that are related to PCOD. Women facing these symptoms should verify if they are having PCOD.
Acne
One of the very common PCOD problem symptoms is acne. It is apparent due to the hormonal changes that occur during this syndrome. The testosterone level is increased. This leads to secretion of more sebum and production of more skin cell, thus giving rise to acne problem.
Fatigue
If you are feeling tired constantly and feeling chronic fatigue, it might be a symptom of PCOD. More so, if there is no other cause for feeling fatigue.
Insulin Resistance
When the body does not respond to insulin in a time or way it is expected to, it is called Insulin Resistance. It leads to high blood glucose levels and energy loss. Then more insulin is needed before glucose is taken into the body tissues. Women with PCOD often show insulin resistance as a symptom.
High Testosterone Levels
High levels of insulin lead to high testosterone level because then ovaries make more testosterone. If high testosterone is observed, you might be suffering from PCOD and should see a doctor immediately.
Excessive Body Hair growth
If a woman or a young girl gets extra hair on her body and face, it might be due to the rising level of testosterone. Excessive body hair growth is the symptom of PCOD. Hair follicles are sensitive to the rise in testosterone.
Weight Changes and Trouble Losing Weight
If you have sudden weight changes, have gained weight over a period of time and are finding it hard to reduce or manage your weight, it definitely one of PCOD problem symptoms. In this case, insulin does not function efficiently and leads to the risk of obesity.
Ovarian Cysts
If you have a problem of ovarian cysts, it could be a PCOD symptom. During PCOD, eggs are not released and the follicles keep rowing. The eggs are stuck in ovaries and form multiple cysts, mostly functional cysts.
Low Sex Drive
Sexual desire can be diminished in PCOD because of lack of energy and well-being, obesity, depression, anxiety due to growth of bodily and facial hair or acne, constant mood swings etc. Infertility problem can also lead to lack of sex drive, which is a commonly observed PCOD problem symptom.
