PCOS & Insulin resistance

I have noticed PCOS can show up differently for everyone, but common symptoms include irregular periods, acne, excess facial hair and weight changes. Insulin resistance can make these symptoms worse by affecting hormone levels. It’s worth getting checked by a doctor, especially if your periods are irregular.

My friend had PCOS, and she had irregular periods, weight gain, facial acne, and excess facial hair. Her doctor explained that PCOS can cause higher levels of male hormones, which can lead to unwanted facial hair and acne. He also explained how insulin resistance can affect hormone levels and worsen these symptoms.
