Risks of Misdiagnosing PCOS in Women
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is now known as "Polycystic Ovary Hormonal and Metabolic Syndrome." It is a chronic hormonal and metabolic disorder that affects vital body functions, including the ovaries and pituitary gland. It leads to weight gain, insulin resistance, menstrual irregularities, and the appearance of masculine secondary sexual characteristics such as excess hair growth and acne. The causative factors include genetics, hormonal imbalances, obesity, and lifestyle factors. Diagnosis is usually based on specific criteria, requiring the presence of two out of three indicators, although ultrasound examination alone is not sufficient. Treating the syndrome requires a comprehensive plan that includes medication and lifestyle modifications, such as following a balanced diet, exercising, and reducing stress, to improve the condition and manage symptoms. It is advised not to underestimate the disease, especially since it may be discovered when facing fertility issues, and it often begins after the age of 11 or 12.
