Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a term that has become increasingly familiar in women's health discussions. Yet, despite its prevalence, many remain unaware of its intricacies. In this blog, we'll shed light on PCOS, exploring its causes, symptoms, and diagnostic process. As we navigate this complex condition, we'll also introduce Keffy's Women PCOS Capsule, a beacon of holistic wellness for those affected.

PCOS Demystified: A Hormonal Enigma


Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is more than just a condition related to the ovaries. At its core, PCOS represents a hormonal imbalance with potential ramifications throughout a woman's body.

Delving into the Causes

The exact cause of PCOS remains a topic of research, but several contributing factors have been identified:

  • Insulin Resistance: A majority of women with PCOS grapple with insulin resistance, leading to elevated insulin levels. This surge in insulin can stimulate the ovaries to produce more androgens, male hormones.
  • Hormonal Imbalance: Beyond insulin, an overproduction of androgens can disrupt the regular ovulatory cycle.
  • Inflammation: Chronic inflammation is often observed in women with PCOS, which might contribute to insulin resistance.
  • Genetics: Family history can play a role. If close female relatives have PCOS, the likelihood of developing it may increase.

Spotting the Symptoms

PCOS manifests in diverse ways, but some common symptoms include:

  • Irregular menstrual cycles
  • Heavy or prolonged periods
  • Excessive hair growth, particularly on the face and body
  • Acne and oily skin
  • Weight challenges, often with difficulty in losing weight
  • Dark patches of skin, especially in neck creases, groin, and under breasts
  • Thinning hair or hair loss from the scalp
  • Fertility issues

The Road to Diagnosis

Arriving at a PCOS diagnosis involves a combination of:

  • Medical History Review: Discussing menstrual patterns, weight fluctuations, and other potential symptoms.
  • Physical Examination: Checking for physical signs of PCOS, such as increased hair growth or acne.
  • Pelvic Examination: To inspect the ovaries for cysts.
  • Blood Tests: To assess hormone levels, insulin, and other relevant markers.
  • Ultrasound: To visualize the ovaries and assess the presence of cysts.
