PCOS is characterized by three common characteristics: irregular or absent periods, excess androgens (elevated testosterone and androstenedione levels), and multiple cystic areas on the ovaries.
Other seemingly unrelated PCOS symptoms that patients might experience include:
Infertility.
Heavy periods and spotting between periods.
Pelvic pain during or between periods.
Mood changes.
Weight gain.
Fatigue, or low energy levels.
Excess growth on the arms, face, back, chest, abdomen or hands and feet (also known as hirsutism).
Hair loss or male pattern baldness on the head.
Acne.
Insomnia or poor sleep.
