What is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age. It occurs when the ovaries produce excess male hormones (androgens), leading to irregular menstrual cycles, ovarian cysts, and metabolic issues. PCOS can cause symptoms like weight gain, acne, and infertility. It affects overall well-being and increases the risk of diabetes and heart disease. Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage symptoms effectively. Lifestyle changes, medications, and medical support can significantly improve health outcomes for women with PCOS.
