The main symptoms of PCOS include irregular menstruation (primary amenorrhea), fewer than normal menstrual periods (oligomenorrhea), or the complete absence of menstruation for more than three months (secondary amenorrhea).
The primary cause of PCOS is elevated levels of androgens, which are hormones that determine the primary sexual characteristics of males but also have an important secondary role in the normal menstrual cycle in women. Too much androgen (hyperandrogenemia) can promote the growth of many small cysts inside the ovaries and interfere with the development of follicles (the hormone-producing bodies in the ovaries). This disturbs the timing of the release of eggs for fertilization. Inositol can reduce the levels of androgens and restore hormonal balance, allowing for a regular monthly ovulation cycle.
There are no known specific causes of PCOS, but research has shown a genetic link because women whose mothers or sisters have the disorder are more likely also to develop PCOS. The diagnosis can only be made by healthcare professionals based on the patient’s history, a physical examination, and laboratory testing. Advanced diagnosis with ultrasound and imaging is not usually used because other disorders cause ovarian cysts, which is the main characteristic of PCOS.
