Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most often diagnosed hormonal disorders in women of reproductive age. This condition happens when the ovaries generate more male hormones, or androgens, than normal, resulting in irregular ovulation and menstrual cycles. Although the specific origin is unknown, it is believed that hereditary factors, insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and lifestyle factors all contribute to the development of the disease.
PCOS can cause women to have irregular or no periods, excess facial or body hair growth, acne, thinning hair on the scalp, weight gain, and problems conceiving since they may not ovulate regularly. Some also develop insulin resistance and may have an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease.

To diagnose the condition, health care providers will analyze your medical history and symptoms, do blood tests to check hormone levels, and conduct pelvic ultrasounds to look at the appearance of the ovaries. Early diagnosis can prevent long-term problems and improve reproductive and metabolic health.
Treatment aims to control symptoms and lower associated health concerns. Lifestyle changes—a healthy diet, exercise, and weight control are crucial.

Medications may be used to regulate menstrual cycles, enhance insulin sensitivity, promote ovulation to achieve pregnancy, or alleviate symptoms associated with androgens. The good news is that most women with PCOS can successfully control the disorder and continue to have a good quality of life with proper and continuous care.
