What is Menstrual Irregularity & PCOS?

Menstrual irregularities refer to changes in the normal menstrual cycle, including missed, delayed, or excessively heavy or light periods. One of the most common causes of menstrual irregularities is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age. PCOS leads to enlarged ovaries with small fluid-filled sacs (cysts) and can cause various health complications.

Symptoms of PCOS & Menstrual Irregularities

• Irregular, missed, or prolonged periods
• Excessive hair growth (hirsutism) on the face, chest, or back
• Acne and oily skin
• Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
• Thinning hair or hair loss on the scalp
• Dark patches on the skin (Acanthosis nigricans)
• Fertility issues or difficulty conceiving
• Mood swings, depression, or anxiety

Causes of PCOS & Menstrual Irregularities

• Hormonal Imbalances – Elevated levels of androgens (male hormones) disrupt ovulation.
• Insulin Resistance – Increased insulin levels lead to weight gain and hormone imbalances.
• Genetic Factors – A family history of PCOS increases the risk.
• Lifestyle & Obesity – Poor diet and lack of physical activity contribute to symptoms.
• Stress & Environmental Factors – Chronic stress and pollutants can affect hormonal health.

Treatment Options for PCOS & Menstrual Irregularities

• Healthy diet rich in fiber, protein, and healthy fats
• Regular exercise to improve insulin sensitivity
• Stress management through yoga, meditation, and adequate sleep

2. Medications
