What about PCOS
The main symptom of PCOS is an irregular menstrual cycle. Menstruation occurs either too rarely or stops altogether. Hirsute is often observed – increased male-pattern hair growth on the legs, face, and lower abdomen. The hair on the head becomes thinner and may fall out. Skin problems are common – increased oiliness and pigmentation, acne. All these are manifestations of excessive production of male sex hormones – hyperparathyroidism. Other symptoms of PCOS include high blood pressure and rapid weight gain, which is accompanied by metabolic disorders. However, these disorders can also occur in patients with normal body weight. 80% of patients with PCOS have a family history of type 2 diabetes, which reflects a hereditary predisposition to impaired carbohydrate metabolism in poly cystic disease.

According to this concept, PCOS Specialist in Lahore is diagnosed if the patient has two of the following three signs:
- hyperparathyroidism (increased activity of male sex hormones in the female body);
- oligoovulation/anovulation;
- poly cystic ovarian morphology.
