Gut microbiota imbalance: Our gut and ovarian health are interconnected. Consumption of unhealthy food, some infection or gut injury can destroy a lot of good gut microflora. This can cause inflammation and increase the chances of PCOD.

Prenatal exposures: High maternal BMI, smoking and drinking during pregnancy puts the baby at a very high risk of exposure to harmful substances. Also, exposure of the foetus to high levels of androgen in the womb puts your child in the high-risk group for PCOS.

Immune System Dysfunction: When your immune system does not function properly, the body starts attacking its own cells instead of the harmful pathogens coming from outside. Also known as auto-immune disease, it causes inflammation.

Epigenetic factors: Epigenetics refers to the changes in the gene expression only due to changes in the genetic activity and not due to alterations in the underlying genetic material (DNA). Adverse metabolic and intrauterine dysfunctions inside the uterus can cause epigenetic changes contributing to PCOD.

Irregular periods: If you are suffering from PCOD, your periods will very often be very early or later than the due date. Some might also miss their periods frequently. Also, for some people the bleeding might be very heavy while for some it can be too scanty.

Pelvic or Lower Abdominal Pain: Pelvic pain in the lower stomach is very common in PCOS. It is very uncomfortable and disrupts efficient functioning on a daily basis.

Obesity: Women with PCOD have hormonal and metabolic discrepancies such as insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism. These conditions can cause excessive weight gain.

Acne: Sudden appearance of acne or the acne lesions getting deeper, larger and more difficult to resolve. These acnes worsen especially during the time of periods.

Hair loss: Higher levels of testosterone and disturbed levels of other hormones are a major cause of hair loss and thinning in case of PCOD/PCOS.

Skin pigmentation: Though this is one of the lesser-known symptoms of PCOD, hyperpigmentation in women with PCOS occurs in areas experiencing a lot of friction such as neck, underarms and inner thighs.

Hirsutism: Also known as excessive hair growth, occurs on the back, belly, chest and most importantly the face. This symptom is very specific to PCOD.

Mood swings: If your mood fluctuates rapidly and manifests itself as irritability, temper, sadness, anxiety or depression very frequently, then you should get yourself diagnosed for PCOS. The fluctuating hormone levels are the driving factor behind this.

Fatigue: This is one of the lead symptoms that women with PCOS report. Low thyroid, vitamin B and D levels in PCOS are also responsible for this.
