PCOS is a condition where the ovaries produce an abnormal amount of Androgen leading to cyst formation in the ovaries. Menstrual irregularity, obesity, acne formation, weight gain and mood swings are some of the common symptoms of PCOS. However, having a healthy lifestyle, a healthy diet and exercising regularly can help in keeping PCOS symptoms under control. Walking is a low-impact workout routine, but it can help in combating PCOS effectively.(Pixabay)
