It usually starts right during puberty, around 13 to 15 years, but most girls only find out in their early 20s! If you notice irregular periods, just visit a gynae and stay positive, it's very common and easy to manage.
I totally get it, dealing with irregular cycles and weight issues at a young age is so frustrating. It usually begins in the late teens. Please be gentle with yourself and take it one step at a time with your doctor's guidance.
It starts between 15 and 25 for most women. My best tip after dealing with it for 8 years is to focus on strength training and high-protein meals rather than doing endless cardio. Don't let the diagnosis scare you.
PCOS usually starts in the late teens or early 20s, and it's closely linked to insulin resistance. Because I have diabetes, my doctor told me managing sugar and carb intake early is crucial for girls with PCOS to prevent future blood sugar issues.
I got diagnosed at 19 during my first year of college. Literally half the girls in my hostel have PCOS, it usually starts around this age because of erratic sleep and canteen food. It's super common.
My daughter was diagnosed with PCOS at 18 during her board exams. It typically starts in late teens due to stress and hormonal shifts. From my experience, don't worry too much; regular sleep and good home-cooked food make a massive difference.
It typically starts during the childbearing years, around 15 to 30. Drinking warm water with cinnamon can help with insulin levels naturally, but please get a proper pelvic ultrasound done to confirm the diagnosis.
