9 Notable symptoms of PCOS

Irregular or missed periods

This is one of the most common symptoms of PCOS. Women with PCOS may have periods that are irregular, meaning they come at different times each month, or they may have periods that are very light or very heavy.

Excess hair growth

PCOS can cause excess hair growth on the face, chest, back, and buttocks. This is called hirsutism.

Acne

PCOS can cause acne breakouts, particularly on the face, back, and chest.

Weight gain or difficulty losing weight

PCOS is often associated with weight gain or difficulty losing weight. This is due to the hormonal imbalances that affect insulin sensitivity.

Infertility

PCOS is a leading cause of infertility in women. The irregular ovulation caused by PCOS can make it difficult to conceive.
