It is a common condition that can cause a range of symptoms, including irregular periods, [[acne]], [[weight gain]], and [[fertility problems]]. In this article, we will explore the causes, [[symptoms]], [[diagnosis]], and treatment of pcos.
	~~==Causes of pcos==~~
	* The exact cause of pcos is not known, but it is believed to be related to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Insulin resistance, which is a condition in which the body does not respond properly to insulin, is also thought to play a role in the development of pcos.
	~~==Symptoms of pcos==~~
	* Pcos can cause a range of symptoms that can vary from woman to woman. The most common symptoms of pcos include:
	* Irregular periods or no periods at all
	* Excessive hair growth on the face, [[chest]], or back
	* Acne or oily skin
	* Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
	* Difficulty getting pregnant
	* Depression or mood swings
	~~==Diagnosis of pcos==~~
	* The diagnosis of pcos is based on a combination of symptoms, [[physical examination]], and laboratory tests. The following tests may be done to diagnose pcos:
	* [[Pelvic exam]]: a pelvic exam is done to check for any physical signs of pcos, such as enlarged ovaries.
	* [[Blood tests]]: blood tests are done to check hormone levels, including testosterone, [[lh]], [[fsh]], and [[insulin]].
	* [[Ultrasound]]: an ultrasound is done to look for the presence of multiple small cysts on the ovaries.
	~~==Treatment of pcos==~~
	* The treatment of pcos depends on the individual symptoms and goals of the patient. The following treatments may be recommended:
	* Lifestyle changes: lifestyle changes such as weight loss, [[exercise]], and a healthy diet can help to manage symptoms of pcos and improve overall health.
