Also called polycystic ovarian syndrome. It is a hormonal disorder in women of reproductive age. It is the condition where in the ovaries develop cysts due to abnormal hormonal changes.

Normally ovaries produce oestrogen and progesterone hormones which help in regulating the menstrual cycle. But the levels of oestrogen, progesterone, FSH and LH levels are altered and hence ovulation is difficult. Due to this immature follicles developed forming cysts.

Symptoms includes:

Sometimes menses are scanty with dark clots.

Besides this there are various symptoms like increase in body weight, Acne on face, chest and back, increased facial hair (hirsutism), male patterned hair loss.

Obesity is also seen due to hormonal changes. 

Hormonal imbalance: levels of oestrogen, progesterone, FSH and LH are altered during phases of menstrual cycle.

Increased Testosterone: High levels of testosterone in the blood also contribute to PCOS.

Insulin resistance: When the body doesn’t utilize enough of insulin, to compensate that low insulin to cells there is more and more insulin production. This increased insulin triggers the ovaries to produce higher level of male hormones.
