Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a disorder in women that is characterized by hormone imbalance in women. This condition is common in women between the age of 15 and 50 (childbearing age).
The condition also leads to irregular growth of hair in the face, body and even baldness. It can also cause serious problems like type 2 diabetes and heart disease. There are three main features of this condition: cysts in ovaries; skipped or irregular periods; and high amount of male hormones. In this condition, many sacs filled with fluids (cysts) grow inside the ovary. Hence, the ovary is unable is to release the eggs regularly and women may suffer from infertility.
