Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
For millions of women across the UK Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is a part of life. Its a very common condition in which cysts form on the ovaries. While in a lot of cases these cysts cause no health concerns at all, they can result in hormonal imbalances, as the ovaries start to produce more male hormones than normal.
While the exact cause of PCOS is unknown it is thought to be associated with abnormal hormone levels, including high levels of insulin. Its often a hereditary condition so its important to check if any female members of your family have suffered with any similar symptoms previously.
PCOS can trigger symptoms such as; excess hair growth on the face & body, oily acne prone skin, irregular or no periods, thinning hair, weight gain & difficulty conceiving. Whilst there is currently no cure for PCOS here at AMP Clinic we are able to reccomend a combination of treatments that will help manage & maintain the symptoms.
