What are the Causes for PCOS?
High levels of androgens (male hormones):
- Effect: Elevated levels of androgens, such as testosterone, can disrupt the normal functioning of the ovaries and may lead to the formation of cysts.
- Consequence: This disruption can hinder the regular release of eggs during the menstrual cycle, contributing to infertility.
Thyroid imbalance:
- Effect: Irregularities in thyroid function, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, can affect the menstrual cycle and ovulation.
- Consequence: Thyroid dysfunction may lead to irregular periods, anovulation (lack of ovulation), or other fertility-related issues.
Insulin resistance:
- Effect: Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. Insulin resistance occurs when cells do not respond effectively to insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar levels.
- Consequence: Insulin resistance is often associated with PCOS and can contribute to hormonal imbalances, disrupting the normal ovulatory process.
Obesity:
- Effect: Excess body weight, particularly abdominal fat, can contribute to insulin resistance and hormonal imbalances.
- Consequence: Obesity is a risk factor for PCOS and can exacerbate fertility issues by disrupting ovulation and menstrual regularity.
Hereditary factors:
- Effect: There is evidence suggesting a genetic component in the development of PCOS and other reproductive disorders.
- Consequence: Individuals with a family history of PCOS may be more predisposed to developing the condition themselves.
