00:00Early Symptoms of PCOS and How to Manage It
00:02Have you been dealing with irregular periods, unexplained weight gain, or constant fatigue?
00:09It might not just be stress, it could be PCOS.
00:13Let's talk about the early symptoms and how to manage them before it gets overwhelming.
00:19PCOS, or polycystic ovary syndrome, is a hormonal imbalance that affects how the ovaries work.
00:25It's actually super common, affecting about 1 in 10 women.
00:28But many people don't even know they have it until it causes major issues like
00:32infertility or metabolic problems. That's why spotting it early is so important.
00:38Here are some early signs you should look out for.
00:41Irregular periods or skipping them altogether.
00:44Acne that just won't go away. Excess hair growth on the face, chest, or stomach.
00:50Hair thinning or hair loss on your scalp. Sudden weight gain or difficulty losing weight.
00:55Mood swings, anxiety, or low energy.
00:58Now, if you notice two or more of these regularly, it's time to pay attention.
01:03A simple checkup and blood test can help confirm if it's PCOS.
01:07PCOS is manageable. Here's how.
01:10Clean up your diet. Go for whole foods, more veggies, less processed sugar and carbs.
01:16Exercise consistently. Walking, strength training, and cardio can help balance hormones and reduce insulin resistance.
01:22Sleep better. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep every night.
01:28Stress less. Chronic stress worsens PCOS symptoms.
01:32Try journaling, deep breathing, or yoga.
01:35Talk to your doctor. Medications like birth control or metformin might be recommended, depending on your symptoms.
01:40PCOS isn't the end of the world.
01:45With the right steps, you can manage your symptoms and feel like yourself again.
