PCOS is a metabolic disorder that comes with symptoms like irregular periods, excess facial hair, weight gain, acne, and more.
But, apart from these visible symptoms, it creates internal changes that aren't noticeable to the naked eye - one of them being bulky ovaries. If you've been diagnosed with PCOS over an ultrasound, chances are your report talks about bulky ovaries!
What does it mean?
In bulky ovaries, they become bigger than their usual size. Several factors, including PCOS, can lead to your ovaries becoming enlarged.
How does PCOS make your ovaries bigger?
Polycystic ovary syndrome (POS) is a metabolic disorder that leads to higher levels of androgens (male hormones) in the body. These excess hormones lead to fluid-filled cysts forming in the ovaries, causing them to swell up.
Swollen ovaries may cause symptoms like...
• Changes in bowel habits
• Pelvic pain or pressure
• Increased urinary urgency
• Bloating or nausea
Should you be worried?
PCOS can cause fertility issues. It's always best to check with your doctor about treatment options and lifestyle changes that can help manage the disease.
