Understanding PCOS and Its Prevalence

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects many women, with symptoms commonly presenting between the ages of 20 and 40. The condition can lead to hormonal imbalances characterized by elevated testosterone levels, decreased progesterone, and dominance of estrogen. Stress, environmental toxins, and poor diet contribute significantly to the rising incidence of PCOS, which is often observed alongside issues such as irregular menstrual cycles, difficulty in conceiving, and metabolic disorders. Many women experience common symptoms including hair loss, acne, fatigue, and abnormal weight gain, indicating a need for awareness and proper health interventions.
