Understanding PCOS and PCOD
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) are often used interchangeably, but PCOS is generally considered a more severe form of the disorder. Both conditions involve hormonal imbalances that affect the ovaries, leading to a variety of symptoms and potential complications.
Symptoms of PCOS-PCOD
- Irregular Menstrual Cycles: Infrequent, irregular, or prolonged menstrual periods.
- Hyperandrogenism: Elevated levels of male hormones (androgens) causing physical signs such as excess facial and body hair (hirsutism), severe acne, and male-pattern baldness.
- Polycystic Ovaries: Enlarged ovaries containing numerous small cysts detectable via ultrasound.
- Weight Gain: Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight.
Diagnostic Procedures
- Medical History and Physical Examination: Assessment of symptoms, menstrual history, and physical signs of hyperandrogenism.
- Blood Tests: To measure hormone levels, including androgens, insulin, and glucose.
- Pelvic Ultrasound: Imaging to visualize the ovaries and check for the presence of cysts.
- Additional Tests: Screening for associated conditions such as diabetes and high cholesterol.
