Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common hormonal disorder affecting those assigned females at birth.
In PCOS, women have more male hormones, known as androgens, which can prevent ovulation.
Though many with PCOS have cysts that grow in the ovaries, many do not.
Some women may have irregular periods or very light periods though many have no periods at all.
There is also another sign that may not seem readily apparent: a puffy face.
Of course, any new symptoms should always be noted and checked out by your doctor.
Besides the physical ramifications of hormonal imbalance, symptoms that affect appearance can be very disheartening for many patients.
Since periods can be irregular or missing in PCOS, estrogen can build up and that causes water retention.
Facial rollers can help boost circulation which will get fluids moving, lessen puffiness, and smooth skin.
Cooling eye patches may also help.
This can result in weight gain, which can also make your face appear fuller.
According toWebMD, periods can often be regulated by losing a little weight.
Eating nutritious and wholesome foods is a must.
Make fruits, veggies, lean protein, and whole grains a part of every meal.
Having 4-6 meals a day rather than the standard three may help keep blood sugar levels steady.
