Resumen

PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) is a hormonal condition that affects how the ovaries work, often causing irregular periods, high levels of “male” hormones (like testosterone) and fluid-filled follicles on the ovaries that can prevent regular ovulation.

Symptoms of PCOS can vary, but common ones include irregular or missed periods, excess facial or body hair, acné, weight gain, thinning hair on the scalp, difficulty getting pregnant, and quistes ováricos.

PCOS cannot be cured, but it can be effectively managed with treatments tailored to your symptoms and goals. This often includes lifestyle changes like a healthy diet and regular exercise, and hormone-regulating medications.

PCOS can significantly affect fertility because it often disrupts ovulation, which makes it harder to conceive. However, many people with PCOS can still get pregnant naturally or with the help of treatments like lifestyle changes, medication, or fertility support.

A balanced diet rich in whole foods, fibre, lean protein, healthy fats, and low in refined carbs and sugars can help manage PCOS symptoms such as weight gain, irregular periods, and acne.
