Cameron Dunn

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex hormonal disorder that commonly affects women, including teenagers. This abstract provides a concise overview of PCOS in teenagers, focusing on its causes, symptoms, and management strategies. PCOS in teens often emerges during puberty and is characterized by irregular periods, hirsutism, acne, weight gain, and emotional disturbances. Diagnosis involves a comprehensive evaluation, including physical examination, medical history review, blood tests, and ultrasound imaging. Treatment options encompass lifestyle modifications, medication, and emotional support. Empowering teenagers with education, emotional support, and appropriate management strategies can improve their quality of life and long-term outlook.
