Overview
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that women produce higher-than-normal amounts of male hormones (androgens). It is common among women of reproductive age. This hormone imbalance makes them skip menstrual periods and hard to get pregnant.
PCOS may also cause hair growth on the face and body, or lead to baldness. If not treated in time, it may cause some long-term diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.

Factors
The exact cause of
PCOS is unknown currently. While there are some risk
factors of PCOS, including:

cause ovulation difficulty.
- Inflammation: According some researches, women with POCS have a type
of low-grade inflammation which stimulates polycystic ovaries to produce
androgens.

families. This indicate certain genes may be related to PCOS.

- Heavy bleeding: Due to the irregular periods, the uterine lining builds up for a longer period of time, which make your bleeding heavier than normal.
