Symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome can differ from person to person. Symptoms may change over time and often occur without a clear trigger.

Possible symptoms include:

• heavy, long, intermittent, unpredictable or absent periods
• infertility
• acne or oily skin
• excessive hair on the face or body
• male-pattern baldness or hair thinning
• weight gain, especially around the belly.

People with PCOS are more likely to have other health conditions including:

• type 2 diabetes
• hypertension (high blood pressure)
• high cholesterol
• heart disease
• endometrial cancer (cancer of the inner lining of the uterus).

PCOS can also cause anxiety, depression and a negative body image. Some symptoms such as infertility, obesity and unwanted hair growth can lead to social stigma. This can affect other life areas such as family, relationships, work and involvement in the community.
