Frustrating Facts About PCOS... and What They Mean  Updated , 2018 Depression. Weight gain. Increased acne and hair growth. Irregular periods. Infertility. These are some of the most notable symptoms of one of the most common hormonal, metabolic and reproductive disorders found in women: polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). So, what is PCOS exactly?Women with PCOS have too many male hormones and not enough female hormones, which interferes with ovulation. With PCOS, the ovaries are typically enlarged and may even contain multiple small cyst-like structures (immature ovarian follicles).If left untreated, this hormone imbalance can affect everything from a woman’s menstrual cycle, to her appearance, to her ability to have children, to her overall health. Unfortunately, this disorder is one of the most misunderstood, under-diagnosed and under-funded conditions affecting women’s health. 1. Between five to 10 percent of women of childbearing age in the United States, or roughly 5 million, have PCOS. That percentage makes it one of the most common hormonal endocrine disorders in women. What’s more, it also makes it the most common cause of female infertility.., “PCOS is one of the most critical, underserved, under-diagnosed and under-funded conditions affecting women’s health. We need the help of media, government agencies and funding sources to improve patient outcomes and help save lives.”Despite being such a common health condition women are facing today, PCOS is misunderstood by doctors and patients alike. 2. Less than 50 percent of women are properly diagnosed, leaving millions of women living with PCOS undiagnosed.Like any disorder, there are common symptoms to look for. For PCOS, those symptoms largely include fertility issues, irregular menstrual periods, excessive body and facial hair, acne, depression and obesity.What’s more, women with PCOS often have many small cysts in their ovaries. It’s also worth noting that PCOS is believed to be a genetic disorder, so women should also take family history into account.But, contrary to the implication of “polycystic,” not everyone with PCOS has cysts. And, while up to 80 percent of women who have PCOS are obese, plenty of women with the disorder don’t show any signs of weight gain. PCOS is not one size fits all.What this means for you: You know your body best. And PCOS presents itself differently in each woman of childbearing age. While some symptoms emerge right away, others may not develop until later in life. If you feel that any of these symptoms apply to you, meet with your doctor.Keep in mind, a diagnosis generally only requires two of the following three criteria to be met: elevated levels of male sex hormones, missed or irregular periods, and/or at least 12 small cysts on one or both ovaries.
