PCOS is a condition in which the ovaries produce abnormal amounts of androgens leading to the formation of cysts in the ovaries. This leads to problems like menstrual irregularities, acne, obesity and mood swings. PCOS symptoms can be controlled by making healthy diet and lifestyle changes. However, drinking alcohol can make the symptoms worse. "Moderation is the key to a healthy lifestyle, especially in your PCOS journey! And stopping it for 30 days and adding it back into your lifestyle can help you figure out how much you can tolerate before it triggers your symptoms," Dietitian Talen Hektarian wrote.
