September is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) awareness month.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that affects many women, often without them even realizing it. If you’ve ever struggled with irregular periods, unexpected weight gain, or stubborn acne, you might be experiencing some of the common signs of PCOS. It’s more than just a hormonal imbalance—it’s a condition that can impact your overall health and how your body processes insulin.
Weight gain is a common and often frustrating symptom of PCOS. Due to hormonal imbalances, particularly insulin resistance, many women with PCOS find it harder to maintain a healthy weight. This weight gain often happens around the abdomen, which can increase the risk of other health issues like diabetes and heart disease. By taking a weekly GLP-1 peptide weight-loss injection you can affectively regulate your insulin levels, boost your metabolism, and reduce those unwanted pounds.
Living with PCOS often means dealing with a range of symptoms caused by hormonal imbalances. PCOS often causes irregular or missed periods. HRT can help make your periods more regular by adjusting the levels of estrogen and progesterone in your body. PCOS can cause high levels of male hormones (androgens), leading to issues like acne, unwanted hair growth, and hair thinning. HRT can lower these hormone levels, helping to reduce these symptoms. If you’re approaching menopause and have PCOS, HRT can help manage symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can be an effective way to manage these symptoms and improve your quality of life.
Dealing with PCOS can be tough, especially when it affects your hair. Those suffering from PCOS can experience both hair loss on the scalp and unwanted hair growth in other areas like the face and body. We can address these symptoms a couple of different ways with Restorative Hair Therapy and Laser Hair Removal.
PCOS is a lifelong condition that requires ongoing management, but the good news is that with the right support and care, managing PCOS is entirely possible.
