b'In this episode, we continue talking about PCOS. As mentioned in the previous episode, we have seen three main types of PCOS. PCOS is more of a spectrum of symptoms. Some women have most of the symptoms of PCOS and others just a few. The varying degree of hormonal imbalances will help mold the three types of PCOS that we have seen. Many doctors that treat PCOS all can agree that there are different types of PCOS.\\xa0\\nThe three types that we have found with PCOS are:\\n\\nClassic\\nCommon\\xa0\\nConcealed\\n\\nIn this episode, we are going to talk about the Common-Type of PCOS. In the previous episode, we spoke about the Classic type. And in the next episode, we will go over the Concealed Type.\\xa0\\xa0\\nThe reason that we want to differentiate the Types of PCOS is because, in each type, there are different health goals, health consequences, and multiple treatment plans.\\n\\xa0Common PCOS: This is the most common type of PCOS seen. The Common-types should be diagnosed fairly easily. But because they do not fall into the Classic presentation, they may get missed in diagnosis.\\xa0\\xa0\\nSymptoms that a PCOS Common-type will present with:\\n\\nEasy weight gain in the middle, the stomach, and the hips and thighs\\nThinning hair\\nIrritable easily\\nSome cystic acne on the chin and jaw area\\nTrouble getting pregnant but is usually successful with fertility options or IVF\\nMay get random cysts on or in the ovaries. But there is no string of pearls or multiple ovarian cysts.\\xa0\\xa0\\nMay miss a period occasionally. Common-types are not regular in their periods. But they may get a period every month for five months then miss two. Or have very long cycles up to 45 days. Or they may have a period every other month. Common-types again, are not regular, but they do not miss multiple months like the Classic Types PCOS.\\n\\nTypical lab work for a PCOS Common Type:\\n\\nLH is double the FSH\\nThere is high normal to just slightly over the normal level of testosterone\\nHigh normal DHEA-sulfate\\nInsulin is in the normal range but may show up in the teens or anywhere above 9.\\xa0\\nNormal glucose\\nEstradiol can be high, showing Estrogen-dominance or be normal ranges'
