Among women of reproductive age, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder. PCOS patients may have irregular or prolonged menstrual periods or excessive levels of male hormones (androgen).

  3. Periods that are irregular. PCOS is characterized most commonly by irregular, infrequent, or prolonged menstrual cycles A high level of androgen. Physical signs of elevated levels of male hormones can include excessive facial and body hair (hirsutism), and occasionally severe acne and baldness.

  4. Obesity typically worsens PCOS symptoms and signs A number of factors cause polycystic ovarian syndrome.

  5. PCOS can also be caused by the following factors: A high level of androgens prevents ovaries from producing eggs (ovulation), causing irregular menstrual cycles. In case of insulin resistance, the ovaries produce and release male hormones (androgens) due to increased insulin levels. PCOS symptoms are worsened by increased levels of the male hormone, which, in turn, suppresses ovulation.
