Key Symptoms
Irregular menstrual cycles, excessive hair growth (hirsutism) on the face and body, severe acne, thinning hair, and difficulty in conceiving.
Treatment Options
Treatment involves lifestyle modifications, birth control pills to regulate cycles, and medications like Metformin to improve insulin resistance. Consultation with a Gynaecologist is essential for a personalized management plan.
Prevention & Lifestyle
