Excess androgen – elevated male hormones levels may result in physical signs, such as excess facial and body hair (hirsutism) and occasionally, severe acne and male-pattern baldness.
Irregular periods – this is when you have less than nine periods a year with more than 35 days in between your periods.
Multiple cysts in your ovaries – your ovaries can be enlarged with tiny follicles that trap the eggs, preventing them from being released every month, causing the ovaries not to function properly.
So, having just cysts in your ovaries doesn’t necessarily mean you have PCOS.
