is a common health problem affecting women of reproductive age. It disrupts the function of the ovaries and leads to hormonal imbalances. This syndrome typically appears in the 20s and 30s and is characterized by the formation of numerous small, fluid-filled sacs (cysts) on the ovaries. These cysts cause the ovaries to produce more male hormones (androgens) than normal, resulting in hormonal imbalances. These imbalances lead to irregularities in the menstrual cycle, such as infrequent or missed periods.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54bd7726 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"54bd7726\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-39ab424b gallery-spacing-custom elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"39ab424b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1838 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"39ab424b\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Polikistik Over Sendromu (PCOS)\" data-elementor-lightbox-description=\"Polikistik Over Sendromu (PCOS)\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTgzOSwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3d3dy5vYmVzaXR5Y29udHJvbC5jb20udHJcL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjVcLzA5XC9Qb2xpa2lzdGlrLU92ZXItU2VuZHJvbXUtUENPUy5qcGciLCJzbGlkZXNob3ciOiIzOWFiNDI0YiJ9\" href='https:\/\/www.obesitycontrol.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Polikistik-Over-Sendromu-PCOS.jpg'><img fetchpriority=\"high\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.obesitycontrol.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Polikistik-Over-Sendromu-PCOS.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Polikistik Over Sendromu (PCOS)\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.obesitycontrol.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Polikistik-Over-Sendromu-PCOS.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.obesitycontrol.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Polikistik-Over-Sendromu-PCOS-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.obesitycontrol.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Polikistik-Over-Sendromu-PCOS-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.obesitycontrol.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Polikistik-Over-Sendromu-PCOS-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27b11a91 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"27b11a91\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9db6cec elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9db6cec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"2\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What are the Symptoms of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-185d8575 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"185d8575\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The symptoms can vary from woman to woman, and the intensity can differ.

The most common symptoms of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.Irregular Periods:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Irregularities in the menstrual cycle are one of the most common symptoms in women with PCOS. These irregularities can manifest as infrequent periods (oligomenorrhea), missed periods (amenorrhea), or irregular bleeding.<\/li>\n<li>Due to problems with ovulation (the release of an egg), the menstrual cycle may lengthen or stop altogether.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>2.Excess Hair Growth (Hirsutism):<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>An increase in androgen levels (male hormones) can lead to excessive hair growth in areas where it doesn&#8217;t typically occur in women.<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s common to see thick and dark hair growth on the face, chest, abdomen, and back.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>3.Acne and Skin Problems:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Increased androgen hormones can increase oil production in the skin, leading to pimples and acne.<\/li>\n<li>Oily skin and acne can be particularly noticeable on the face, back, and chest.<\/li>\n<li>Changes and darkening of the skin texture: especially a slightly velvety texture on the neck, armpits, and groin, dark skin patches (acanthosis nigricans) can appear on the neck, underarms, and groin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.Weight Gain and Obesity:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Women with PCOS tend to gain weight, especially around the abdomen.<\/li>\n<li>It can be harder to lose weight due to insulin resistance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong> Glucose Intolerance and Type 2 Diabetes:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>PCOS is considered an independent risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes, and it&#8217;s recommended that all women with PCOS be screened for diabetes.

but it can be managed based on clinical analyses, hormone tests, and ultrasound examinations, depending on the type of PCOS. Symptoms can be controlled through lifestyle changes and medication. After diagnosis, we initially focus on lifestyle adjustments and medications for cosmetic concerns that bother the patient, such as increased hair growth or irregular periods. Some patients have been taking birth control pills for a long time due to menstrual irregularities since early childhood. These medications should never be taken with cigarettes, as this increases the risk of blood clots forming in the brain or other organs. Furthermore, regular medical check-ups are necessary because long-term use can lead to negative and unwanted side effects. \u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 id=\"elementor-tab-title-2652\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2652\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Does PCOS mean infertility?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2652\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2652\"><p>No, PCOS does not necessarily mean infertility.
