Hormone: Deel 2: PSOS

What is PCOS?

PCOS is a set of symptoms related to a hormonal imbalance that can affect women and girls of reproductive age. Women with PCOS usually have at least two of the following three conditions:

1. Absence of ovulation, leading to irregular menstrual periods or no periods at all.

2. High levels of androgens (a type of hormone) or signs of high androgens, such as having excess body or facial hair.

3. Cysts (fluid-filled sacs) on one or both ovaries—”polycystic” literally means “having many cysts.”

Deel 1: Hormone

Your hormones play an integral role in your overall health. As a result, there’s a broad range of signs or symptoms that could signal a hormonal imbalance. Your signs or symptoms will depend on which hormones or glands aren’t working properly.

Stomach acid is a highly acidic liquid your body naturally produces to help you digest and absorb nutrients in food. Your body also produces enzymes and mucus to help protect your body from the acid’s strength.
High levels of stomach acid can lead to heartburn, acid reflux, and eventually ulcers. Low levels of stomach acid may impair your ability to digest food.
