What is PCOS?

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder that affects people with ovaries, often during their reproductive years.

It is characterized by an imbalance of hormones, which can lead to various symptoms such as:

  • Irregular menstrual cycles
  • Excessive hair growth (hirsutism)
  • Acne
  • Thinning hair
  • Weight gain

PCOS can also affect fertility, as irregular ovulation may make it more difficult to conceive. In addition to hormonal imbalances, individuals with PCOS are at a higher risk for other health issues, such as type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease.

How can a dietitian help with PCOS?

While there is no cure for PCOS, it can be managed through lifestyle changes, nutrition, and, in some cases, medication to regulate hormones, improve symptoms, and support fertility.
