Quiz: Do You Have These PCOS Symptoms?

Millions of women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS are going undiagnosed, untreated and unsupported. This endless loop must change and women must be aware of the effects PCOS might have on their body. Women with PCOS produce higher-than-normal levels of male hormones, causing an imbalance and skipping menstrual periods. This in turn makes it harder for them to get pregnant. PCOS sometimes causes hair growth on face and body, or baldness on the head, and also leads to health problems like heart diseases and diabates. Take this quiz to find out how many (if any) PCOS/PCOD symptoms you actually have.

1. Are you experiencing irregular periods (more than 7 days off from your regular date)?
2. Have you experienced unexplained weight gain?
3. Have you noticed THICK facial hair growth, possibly around the chin, on the sides of your face, or on your upper lip?
4. Are you losing hair the same way as men do-on top of your scalp or at your temples?
5. Do you suffer from frequent bouts of acne (often cystic), irrespective of your menstrual cycle?
6. Are you experiencing dark skin patches on certain areas of your body?
7. Are you having difficulty in conceiving even after trying to become pregnant for months now?
8. Do you have skin tags (small, flexible bumps or flaps of skin) around your neck, under the breasts, in the armpits, or around the groin?
9. Do you experience a sharp jolt or a dull ache in your lower belly suddenly?
10. Have you been experiencing signs of anxiety, fatigue, depression, digestive problems, or irregular sleep patterns?

If you’ve answered YES to more than 5 questions, there’s a chance that you’re suffering from PCOS. Get yourself checked out by a gynaecologist to get a proper diagnosis.
