PCOS
What is PCOS?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition that affects how women’s ovaries function. It’s reported that one in every 10 women have PCOS, whilst many women remain undiagnosed. The condition causes a hormonal imbalance which comes as a result from the ovaries creating excess hormones. There are three main features of PCOS which are: irregular periods, polycystic ovaries and excess androgen. One of the main symptoms associated with PCOS is excessive hair growth. The excessive hair growth appears to replicate that of a male and can include areas such as the face, chest and back. This symptom can cause many confidence issues for women, with many unhappy with their hair growth.
