Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting people with ovaries, often during their reproductive years. It is characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, excess androgen levels, and polycystic ovaries, which can lead to various health issues such as infertility and metabolic problems.
The exact cause of PCOS is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Symptoms can vary widely, and management may include lifestyle changes, medication, and regular monitoring to address the associated health risks.
