What is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects how the ovaries work.

PCOS is a condition where the ovaries produce higher-than-normal levels of androgens, which can interfere with the development and release of eggs. It is often associated with irregular periods, excess hair growth, acne, and can cause small cysts to form on the ovaries. While the exact cause is unknown, it is linked to genetics and insulin resistance, and it can affect fertility. PCOS is manageable with lifestyle changes and medical treatments.
