Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder observed in women of reproductive age. Approximately about 1 in 10 women are estimated to be diagnosed with PCOS before menopause. Irregular menstrual cycle, enlarged ovaries with multiple cysts, excess androgen levels or hormonal imbalance, insulin resistance, weight gain, hirsutism, and acne are the key signs and symptoms of PCOS. PCOS increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, dyslipidemia, sleep apnea, anxiety, depression, and endometrial cancer.
