International Women's Day 2025: PCOD and PCOS are two such medical conditions that affect women. Although these are problems that depend on the hormonal imbalance of females. But do you know which women can suffer from PCOD i.e. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, which is considered a lifetime problem. Many times this syndrome is measured on a fixed age scale, which includes women above 20 years of age. Recently, Dr. Anjali Kumar tells in a podcast show that PCOS can also occur in girls studying in 10th and 11th. Let's know about this from the expert.

Can PCOS really occur in 10th-11th also?

India's top gynecologist Dr. Anjali Kumar tells in Dr. Pal's podcast show that the problem of PCOS can occur in 1 out of every 5 women in the world. Age matters in this, but in today's lifestyle, this situation can also happen with young women or girls. Actually, estrogen hormone is responsible for this. This hormone increases prematurely in girls of 10th or 11th class because they also have stress of studies, results, proper career and personal life.

Women of BPO sector also suffer

Dr. Anjali also tells in the podcast show that she found in her career that women who are working in the BPO sector also have to face problems like PCOS. These women also have so much stress and working pressure that problems like PCOD and PCOS are common for them.

What do the experts say?

PSRI Hospital Consultant Gynecologist Dr. Amoditha Ahuja says that the problem of PCOS usually affects women after the age of 20 years, but it is not necessary that it occurs only after this age. She says that due to the deteriorating eating habits in today's lifestyle, every girl who has crossed puberty, that is, those who have started menstruating, can have this problem. Now a lot of change has been seen in the age of menses. Earlier girls used to start menstruating at the age of 15 or 16 years, but now girls get menstruating even at the age of 11-12 years.

Some signs of PCOS

The doctor tells about the early signs of PCOS:-

Irregular periods or no periods for 2-3 months continuously.

Hair growth on the face, especially in the jaw area.

Too many pimples on the face.
