When does pcos usually develop?

I've been having irregular periods and some skin issues lately. My gynaecologist mentioned PCOS as a possibility. When does PCOS usually develop? Is it common in young women like me?

Haan ji, PCOS mostly start hota hai early teens mein na, jab periods shuru hote hain. Kabhi-kabhi thoda late bhi ho sakta hai. Agar aapko irregular periods ya kuch aur symptoms hain toh doc ko dikhana best hai.

My daughter was diagnosed with PCOS when she was about 15, soon after her periods started becoming very irregular. It's often around puberty that symptoms become noticeable, but it can sometimes appear later too. Early diagnosis helps manage it better.

From my own experience, and what my doctor told me, PCOS symptoms usually start showing up during adolescence, around the time periods begin. But it's not always super obvious immediately. Sometimes, it gets diagnosed later if symptoms worsen or during fertility investigations. Don't jump to conclusions, get it properly checked.

PCOS generally starts showing symptoms in adolescence, often linked to hormonal changes. It's vital to remember that diet plays a huge role in managing such conditions, similar to diabetes. Focus on low-GI foods and regular exercise; it helps a lot.

PCOS usually begins in the teenage years, often when a girl first starts getting her periods. The symptoms might become more noticeable with time. It's a common condition.
