Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age. It is characterized by the presence of multiple small cysts on the ovaries, irregular menstrual cycles, and elevated levels of male hormones (androgens). Symptoms of PCOS can include irregular or missed periods, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), acne, weight gain, and difficulty getting pregnant.

PCOS is also associated with insulin resistance, which can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. Treatment for PCOS typically involves lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, medications to regulate menstrual cycles and manage symptoms, and fertility treatments if pregnancy is desired. Early diagnosis and management can help reduce the risk of long-term complications.
