PCOS is a common endocrine and reproductive condition in women of reproductive age. One in every 10 women in India has polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Women with PCOS may have irregular or prolonged menstrual cycles, as well as high amounts of male hormone (androgen). The ovaries may generate a large number of tiny collections of fluid (follicles) and fail to release eggs on a regular basis
What is the Cause of PCOS?
The aetiology of polycystic ovary syndrome is unknown, however it may be caused by a mix of hereditary and environmental factors.
Infertility and PCOS
PCOS has a negative impact on fertility since women with the syndrome do not ovulate (release an egg) every month because their ovaries produce too much oestrogen. Because ovulation is irregular, periods become irregular, and high levels of hormones like testosterone can affect egg quality, inhibit ovulation, and leads to infertility.

- Irregular menstrual cycles– Infrequent, irregular, or prolonged menstruation cycles, or less than eight periods per year, or none at all.
