Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)is a metabolic, reproductive, and psychological complex series of disorders that impacts a woman throughout her lifespan. PCOS is a disorder of hormonal imbalance occurring in women of reproductive age. This disorder is characterized byhigh levels of male androgens like testosterone. This can lead tosymptoms like irregular periods, amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), anovulation (absence of ovulation), hirsutism, acne, and obesity. PCOS also causes metabolic impairment. Multiple peripherally arranged immature follicles of about 2-5mm in diameter are present in the ovary. These follicles do not mature due to hormonal imbalances leading to an irregular menstrual cycle.PCOS is a metabolic, reproductive, and psychological complex series of disorders that impacts a woman throughout her lifespan. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is not a fatal or life-threatening disorder as its main complication is infertility. PCOScan be a root cause ofserious medical conditions like obesity, hypertension, type-2 diabetes mellitus due to insulin resistance, endometrial cancers, ovarian cancer, etc. Stress may causethe hormone levels in the pituitary to fluctuate. Since the menstrual cycle is hormone-based, there are apparent irregularities.
