Symptoms can vary among different people and can make it hard to diagnose this disorder. The worst symptoms include; pain in the abdomen, lack of a menstrual cycle (amenorrhea), acne (all over body), unwanted hair growth (in areas unwanted also known as hirsutism), and possible infertility.

The excess body hair, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and excess weight are all some symptoms. These symptoms can also lead to heart attacks. There is so much going on with this disease that sometimes it's hard to diagnose and/or treat and everyone is different.

Translated from spanish Improve translation
– Polycystic ovaries: classic ovary in PCOS in where it seems to have a pearl necklace with many small cysts (fluid-filled sacs)

– Menstrual periods: irregular, sporadic or absent

– Hirsutism: excessive hair growth on the face, chest, abdomen, and back

– Acne or oily skin

– Androgenetic Alopecia: thinning progressive of the hair, known as male-pattern baldness (AGA)

– Infertility or reduced fertility

– Overweight or obesity: particularly around the waist (central obesity) and abdomen

– Skin tags-small pieces of skin in the neck or armpits

– Acanthosis Nigricans: dark patches on the skin of the nape of the neck, the armpits and under the breasts

It has been found that many women with PCOS have a condition called insulin resistance (IR), in which the body's tissues are resistant to the effects of insulin so the body has to produce more insulin to compensate. The RI seems to be related to high levels of androgens, obesity and type 2 diabetes. In turn, obesity can increase insulin levels, and this can aggravate polycystic ovarian syndrome.
