It affects both physically and emotionally as well as puts a financial burden on families.

Because the medical treatment and doctor appointments only help suppress the symptoms of Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and lead to other health complications like diabetes, Cardiovascular disease, hirsutism (excessive growth of hair on the face, back, abdomen, etc), and loosing the hair from the scalp.

While the effects and severity of PCOS can vary from person to person, it can have a significant impact on one's quality of life.

Here are some ways in which PCOS can affect different aspects of life:

1. Hormonal Imbalances: Increased androgen levels can result in symptoms like acne, hirsutism (excessive hair growth), male-pattern hair loss, and central fat deposition which can impact self-esteem and body image and lower confidence and lead to anxiety, depression, etc.

2. Menstrual Irregularities: Due to hormonal imbalance absence of a period for a month and more than a month. Irregular periods and heavy menstrual bleeding are common with PCOS, leading to difficulty and inconvenience and could lead to infertility.

3. Social Isolation: Emotional distress and body image concerns may lead to social withdrawal and a sense of isolation, affecting social interactions and relationships.

It can make it challenging to conceive and may require fertility treatments for those who wish to have children like IVF(Invitro fertilization), and IUI(intrauterine insemination).

5. Weight Management: Many women with PCOS struggle with weight gain and find it difficult to maintain a healthy weight, which emotionally depresses the women and reduces their self-interest and self-care.

6. Metabolic Health: Elevated androgen leads to insulin resistance, which later increases the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular problems.

7. Emotional Well-Being: Excessive weight in PCOS can lead to mood disturbances, including depression and anxiety, due to its physical symptoms.

8. Self-Esteem and Body Image: Weight gain and skin issues, can affect self-esteem and body confidence. It leads you more depression.

9. Social and Relationship Impact: PCOS can affect mood by lowering good hormones like serotonin and emotional and physical challenges of PCOS can affect social interactions and relationships with another person.

10. Quality of Life: Overall, PCOS can affect quality of life, as well as impact daily activities, because of bad mood it ruins personal relationships and professional life too.

It's important to understand that PCOS is a manageable condition, and it is easy to treat with the right holistic nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, and emotional support. It's also essential for individuals with PCOS to seek help and guidance from healthcare professionals and support networks to address the physical and emotional challenges associated with the condition.
