• Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common
  condition prevailing in women of reproductive
  age. PCOS can develop any time after a woman has
  had her first period (known as menarche). There

  signs and symptoms-one felt by the patient, and
  one deduced by the doctor on thorough examination
  and medical counseling.
