Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting many women in Lebanon. Symptoms include irregular periods, excess hair growth, acne, weight gain, and fertility issues. Without treatment, PCOS can lead to long-term serious problems such as obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, and heart disease. Dr. Nadim Litani, a leading gynecologist, specializes in personalized PCOS treatments that improve both symptoms and fertility.
PCOS is a condition where the ovaries produce an abnormal amount of androgens, which are male sex hormones typically present in women in small amounts (such as testosterone). This hormonal imbalance may be associated with the inability of the ovaries to release eggs regularly, as well as increased undesirable hair growth (hirsutism), insulin resistance, and weight gain.
Common symptoms of PCOS include:
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Excessive hair growth (hirsutism)
- Acne and oily skin
- Difficulty losing weight
- Infertility if left untreated
PCOS can lead, in the long term, to more serious health conditions such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, heart disease, and endometrial cancer. Early diagnosis and management are essential for improving health outcomes.
Women with PCOS often experience emotional challenges like anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem due to physical symptoms such as weight gain and acne. Addressing mental health alongside physical treatment is crucial for holistic care.
