We meet tons of women who would love to miss a month of periods just to avoid a month of cramps and mood swings. But it is not everyday that we meet women who are waiting for periods to use it as a sign to feel normal again.
There are a lot of reasons why we miss our periods but the underlying reason remains the same - hormone imbalances.
Today, let us look at one of the disorders that could cause this, PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome(PCOS).
“There are a lot of reasons why we miss our periods but the underlying reason remains the same - hormone imbalances.”
What is PCOS?
In simple words, Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age. Women with PCOS may have infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods or excess male hormone (androgen) levels.
It is important to talk to a doctor or a health coach to better understand your symptoms that is unique to you and work on balancing your hormones imbalances. If you are told to take metformin and birth control pills, make sure to know the side effects and that you have other options.
A lot of people might not know that there are different kinds of PCOS and you could be one of them depending on your symptoms or a combination of two of them.
