u might have pcos or thyroid issues. PCOD/PCOS is a common reproductive endocrine disorder. In Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), excessive amounts of androgens ("male" hormones such as testosterone) are produced by the ovaries. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common cause of infertility, menstrual irregularity, and hirsute (excessive hair growth). Insulin and Oral Contraceptives in controlled amounts is used as a treatment method in PCOS. Known causes for PCOS: - Genetic inheritance - Insulin resistance in which case the cells can't use insulin properly - Obesity can cause inflammation of the body and insulin resistance - Exercise and a healthy lifestyle by eating a well balanced diet devoid of oily, deep fried and junk food has shown to improve the status of the PCOS.
