What Is PCOS?
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal condition that affects how the ovaries function. It’s one of the most common endocrine disorders in women of reproductive age and is often linked to irregular periods, excess androgen (male hormone) levels, and ovarian cysts. PCOS can impact fertility, energy, metabolism, mood, and long-term health outcomes, such as insulin resistance and cardiovascular health.
It’s important to know that PCOS doesn’t look the same for everyone – and support should never be a one-size-fits-all approach.
Common Signs & Symptoms
- Irregular or absent periods
- Acne or oily skin
- Excess facial or body hair (hirsutism)
- Thinning scalp hair
- Difficulty losing weight or unexplained weight gain
- Mood swings, anxiety or low mood
- Sugar cravings or energy crashes
- Trouble falling pregnant
- Fatigue or low motivation
- Skin tags or darkened skin around the neck or armpits
Root Causes & Contributing Factors
PCOS has no single cause, and is influenced by a variety of interconnected factors. These may include:
- Insulin resistance
- Chronic inflammation
- Hormonal imbalances (especially androgens and LH:FSH ratios)
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Stress and poor sleep
- Gut dysbiosis
- Genetic predisposition
