PCOS is rising among Indian women, yet many are unaware of its triggers. A 2023 study shows 1 in 5 Indian women now lives with PCOS. It is mainly caused by hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, genetics, and chronic stress.

A study in the International Journal of Health Sciences and Research found that homeopathic treatment, combined with lifestyle changes, significantly improved PCOS symptoms, especially irregular periods, acne, and overall quality of life.

Raising awareness is key to helping women manage PCOS effectively.

Uncovering the Triggers of PCOS

PCOS is a condition that impacts women of reproductive age. Knowing the causes of PCOS in females can help with early diagnosis and effective management.

  1. Genetic factors:
    1. Hereditary Component: One of the primary causes of PCOS and PCOD is genetics. PCOS tends to run in families, indicating a genetic link. Women with a family history of PCOS are more likely to develop it.
    2. Genetic Predisposition: Specific genes are associated with PCOS, though research is ongoing to identify the exact markers.
  2. Insulin resistance: Many women with PCOS have insulin resistance, the main cause of PCOS that leads to higher insulin levels. This condition can stimulate excessive androgen production and exacerbate symptoms such as irregular periods and weight gain.
  3. Inflammation:

    Chronic low-level inflammation is common in PCOS. This can stimulate the ovaries to produce more male hormones (androgens), worsening symptoms like acne and hair growth. This inflammatory response is a significant cause of PCOS disease.

  4. Hormonal imbalances:

    Elevated Androgens: Excess levels of male hormones (androgens) can disrupt ovulation and lead to symptoms such as acne and excessive hair growth. LH and FSH imbalance: Imbalance in these hormones can disturb the menstrual cycle. This is the key cause of PCOS.

  5. Environmental and lifestyle factors:
    1. Lack of exercise, poor diet, and obesity can contribute to insulin resistance and worsen hormonal imbalances.
    2. Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals can interfere with hormone regulation and increase the risk of developing PCOS. These environmental influences are a growing concern when examining the causes of PCOS problems.

Key Risk Factors Linked to PCOS

PCOS can lead to the risk of developing various health conditions and understanding them can help in better prevention and management:

  1. Family history of PCOS

    Having your sister or mother suffering from PCOS can raise the risk. This indicates a genetic link.

  2. Obesity or Being Overweight

    Excess weight can impact the insulin resistance and disrupt hormones. This can lead to irregular periods and increased hair growth

  3. Early onset of menstruation

    Girls who start menstruating at a young age are at higher risk on account of hormonal imbalances.

  4. High-stress levels

    Chronic stress can increase androgen production. It can worsen symptoms like excess hair growth and acne.
