What is 💡 PCOS?

PCOS stands for

👉 Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or Multiple Ovarian Cyst Syndrome

It's a hormonal disorder in women of childbearing age that results in...

• The months are not normal.

• Eggs do not fall consistently

• There are small vesicles in several ovaries.

• The body generates unusually high testosterone (androgen)

🔍 Main symptoms of PCOS (3 major)

Doctors often diagnose PCOS based on Rotterdam Criteria criteria.

Well, if there are two of these three things, there is a high chance of PCOS.

1. Irregular month cycle

• Menstruation comes irregularly (more than 35 days away or missing 2-3 months)

• Have ovulation problems

2. Hyperandrogenesis

• Chronic acne

• Abnormal hair, such as chest, mustache, chin

• Male pattern hair loss (front / middle of head)

3. Ultrasound found vesicles in several ovaries (Polycystic ovaries)

• The doctor will detect a small cyst around the ovary.

• But that doesn't mean everyone needs a cyst to be PCOS.

🧪, what check to know it's PCOS?

✅ 1. Wash the history of the month.

• Tell the doctor if the monthly cycle is not normal.

• How long is the monthly cycle missing?

• Have you ever had a pregnancy problem?

✅ 2. Blood tests, hormones.

Especially...

• LH / FSH (Egg Fall Hormone Value)

• Testosterone (Testosterone)

• DHEA-S, Prolactin

• AMH (tell the number of eggs in the ovaries)

✅ 3. Vaginal / abdominal ultrasound

• To see ovarian characteristics

• Usually found to have a small cyst of ≥ 12 per side, 2-9 mm.

⚠️ Important note

• It does not mean that anyone with a cyst is PCOS.

• And some people with PCOS do not find the cyst because it depends on the examination period.
