A male phenotype of #PCOS :
1. Premature androgenic alopecia (alopecia occurring before 35 years of age)
2. Raised levels of adrenal androgens
3. Insulin resistance and metabolic features

After 28 years of living with PCOD and excruciating pain, consulting at least 20 docs & one major operation, I finally had painless periods for first time in my life at 41 because a doctor finally decided to listen to me. I feel a sort of sadness at all the life I could've lived
A lot of women are unable to lose weight and hence often end up not visiting the doc again. There has to be more to the conversation and management #PCOS
We've all been guilty of this🙇! The key is delving deeper into women's issues and rooting out a permanent, sustainable solution 👏
