Androgens, also known as male hormones, are present in both men and women. In excess, they can cause hormonal imbalances in women with PCOS.
High androgen levels lead to symptoms like irregular periods, acne, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), and difficulty in ovulation.
Androgens interfere with the development of follicles in the ovaries, preventing the release of eggs and making conception difficult.
A balanced diet, regular exercise, weight management, and stress reduction can help regulate androgen levels in women with PCOS.
Birth control pills, anti-androgen medications like spironolactone, and insulin-sensitizing drugs like metformin can help balance hormones.
If ovulation remains irregular, fertility treatments like Clomid, letrozole, IUI, or IVF can help improve the chances of pregnancy.
