If you suffer from PCOS Acne, these hormone imbalance acne facts can help.

What Is PCOS?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a problem that is caused by a hormonal imbalance. It affects about 5% - 10% of women during their childbearing years. Symptoms usually are noticed when the patient is a teenager, but sometimes they are not noticed until later or not at all.

What Are The Symptoms of PCOS?

All patients with PCOS will experience irregular or no menstrual cycles. In addition to this other symptoms may or may not include:

-Acne
-Obesity
-Excess hair on face, back, chest or stomach

Other signs that you may have PCOS include:

-weight gain
-oily skin
-infertility
-dandruff
-high cholesterol
-high blood pressure

PCOS Diagnosis

The diagnosis of PCOS needs to be done by a doctor. The doctor will diagnosis PCOS by determining the number of symptoms, by ruling out other causes and by conducting tests such as a blood test.

PCOS Treatment

Treatment of PCOS through the use of birth control pills or a medication called metformin can help manage the hormonal imbalance that is causing the syptoms. Metformin (Glucophage) is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. This drug affects the action of insulin and is helpful in reducing the PCOS symptoms.

If other treatments are unsuccessful, a surgical procedure known as ovarian drilling may help women who have not responded to other treatments for PCOS. In this procedure a small portion of ovarian tissue is destroyed by the use of an electric current delivered through a needle inserted into the ovary.
