cause of pcos and pcod - #12988
I am curious about the cause of PCOS and PCOD because lately, I've been dealing with some really frustrating symptoms. Like, for the past few months, my cycle's been all over the place, and I've gained some weight even though I'm not eating that differently. I went to see my doctor, and after some tests, they mentioned that I might have PCOS. I haven’t done much research yet, but I keep wondering about the cause of PCOS and PCOD and what exactly triggers it. I've read stuff about hormones and insulin resistance but it's kinda confusing. Also, my sister was recently diagnosed too, which made me think maybe there's a family link. If the cause of PCOS and PCOD is genetic, does that mean I should be worried about my own daughters in the future? Sometimes it feels overwhelming trying to connect the dots, y'know? It's like, can lifestyle changes help with the cause of PCOS and PCOD or is it more about genetics? Like, if I start eating better and exercising, is that gonna really make a difference, or is the cause something deeper? Really, any insights would help because this whole situation is just a lot to handle.
