PCOS symptoms, one by one

The nine symptoms PCOS Diary tracks, and why a dated severity log for each one is worth more at an appointment than memory.

• PCOS and acne: tracking what mattersWhy acne is part of the PCOS picture, and how a dated severity log turns 'my skin has been bad' into a pattern your GP can actually work with.
• PCOS and hair loss: tracking the thinningWhy PCOS can thin hair at the crown and parting, and how a dated severity log turns 'I think I'm shedding more' into evidence your GP can work with.
• PCOS and hirsutism: tracking excess hairWhat hirsutism actually means, why it's linked to PCOS, and how a dated severity log turns excess hair growth into evidence your GP can work with.
• PCOS and fatigue: tracking the tirednessWhy fatigue is common with PCOS, what can feed into it, and how a dated severity log turns 'I'm always tired' into a pattern your GP can work with.
• PCOS and bloating: tracking the patternWhy bloating shows up with PCOS, the difference between cyclical and constant bloating, and how a dated log makes it useful at your next appointment.
• PCOS and mood: tracking how you feelWhy mood changes are common with PCOS, how a dated log helps your GP, and where to turn for real support if you're struggling right now.
• PCOS and cravings: tracking the patternWhy cravings are often discussed with PCOS and insulin resistance, and how a dated log makes the pattern useful at your next GP appointment.
