Common Symptoms of PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease)

PCOD causes a variety of symptoms. Some of the most common symptoms are as follows:

Irregular Periods

01

This is the most common sign of PCOD. The first symptom of PCOD is irregular or scarce periods.

Heavy Bleeding 

02

The uterine wall has more time to accumulate due to irregular periods. When periods do occur, this causes more bleeding.

Acne

03

PCOD disrupts hormones, which causes numerous facial issues like acne. Due to PCOD, some women get severe cystic acne.

Excessive Facial and Body Hair

04

Women with PCOD experience excessive hair growth because their ovaries secrete a large amount of the male hormone androgen.

Mood Swings 

05

Period irregularities and hormonal imbalances are caused by PCOD. This hormonal imbalance causes mood swings.

Sudden Weight Gain 

06

In PCOD, the body produces excessive amounts of insulin and male hormones. Women who experience this suddenly gain weight.

Hair Thinning

07

The majority of PCOD patients experience crown hair thinning. Some people even lose all of their hair.

Skin Darkening

08

One typical symptom of PCOD is the darkening of the skin around the private regions or on the neck.

Oily Skin

Hormone imbalance also affects the skin. It results in acne by producing too much sebum.

Diabetes
