☕️ EXTREME FATIGUE: Many factors relating to your PCOS also cause severe tiredness. Sleep apnoea, common in PCOS disrupts restorative sleep and REM cycles. Imbalanced blood sugar levels from insulin resistance cause energy crashes, reduced focus and energy throughout the day. Low thyroid function slows metabolism and energy production. Also, cortisol imbalances and circadian rhythm issues disrupt the body's natural sleep cycles and restoration ability, all worsening fatigue.
🦵 JOINT PAIN: Feeling achy in your joints? Insulin resistance, weight issues, hormonal imbalances or autoimmune factors/sensitivities associated with PCOS can exacerbate inflammation, leading to discomfort and stiffness.
🌈 SKIN DISCOLOURATION: Notice changes in your skin tone or pigmentation? Elevated insulin levels can stimulate the growth of skin cells, leading to the formation of skin tags. These insulin issues also lead to the characteristic thickened, darkened patches of skin, which often occur in skin folds and creases, such as the neck, armpits, groin, and back of the neck dark patches called acanthosis nigricans.
💇♀️ HAIR THINNING: Hair thinning occurs in PCOS, because scalp hair follicles are hormone-sensitive. High testosterone in PCOS can be converted into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent form of testosterone. This DHT causes miniaturization and death of the hair follicle, causing them to fall out instead of developing into thick terminal hairs, resulting in thinning hair or bald spots on the scalp.
