PCOS Unveiled: Addressing the Long-Term Implications and Holistic Management of a Common Yet Misunderstood Disorder

Isabel Molina

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age globally. Despite its prevalence, PCOS is often misunderstood and underdiagnosed, leaving many women to cope with its long-term effects without proper support or treatment. The syndrome's symptoms include irregular menstrual cycles, excessive androgen levels, severe acne, hirsutism, weight gain, and thinning hair, which can significantly impact mental health, leading to anxiety and depression. Beyond fertility issues, PCOS increases the risk of chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and endometrial cancer. A holistic approach to managing PCOS, encompassing lifestyle modifications, medical treatment, and mental health support, is essential. Increased awareness, early diagnosis, and advocacy for more research are crucial to improve outcomes for women with PCOS. Addressing the full spectrum of PCOS symptoms and their impacts can enhance the quality of life for millions of affected women worldwide.
