PCOS can lead to a lot of stress, affecting your normal lifestyle.

Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a serious medical condition. It can affect your ability to conceive and increase your risk of developing metabolic disorders.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal imbalance caused by the ovaries (the organ that produces and releases eggs). Your ovaries produce abnormally high levels of androgens (male sex hormones) which are usually present in small amounts. This can lead to the development of numerous small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) in the ovaries.

However, some women with this disorder do not have cysts. Genetics, insulin resistance, and inflammation have all been linked to an excess of male hormone production which prevents the ovaries from producing eggs normally. It can affect your ability to conceive and increase your risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular issues, and endometrial cancer.
