Introduction

• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a
  hormonal disorder common among women of
  reproductive age. Women with PCOS may have
  infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods or
  excess male hormone (androgen) levels. The
  ovaries may develop numerous small collections of
  fluid (follicles) and fail to regularly release
  eggs.
• The exact cause of PCOS is unknown. Early
  diagnosis and treatment along with weight loss
  may reduce the risk of long-term complications
  such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

SYMPTOMS 

• Periods With Abnormalities
• Irregular, prolonged or infrequent
  menstrualcycles are one of the most common
  symptoms of PCOS. If you have less than 9 periods
  in a year, very heavy periods or a cycle of more
  than 35 days, then it is the time to see a
  doctor.
• Polycystic Ovaries
• This situation the ovaries might get
  enlarged and as a result, the ovaries fail to
  function appropriately.
• Increment In Androgen
• Increased levels of androgens (male
  hormones) result in physical appearances like
  excess body and facial hair and severe acne.

CAUSES 

• Heredity
• According to some researches heredity could
  be one of the reasons behind PCOS as there are
  some genes which might link to PCOS.
• Surplus Insulin
• Insulin is a hormone which is produced by
  the pancreas. It is the primary energy supplier
  of the body. When the body becomes resistant to
  the actions of insulin, the levels of blood sugar
  rises rapidly and due to which more insulin is
  might be produced by the body. Excess insulin can
  increase the production of androgen which can
  cause difficulties on ovulation.
• Inflammation Of Low Grade
• This situation is related to the blood
  cells. Studies show that all those women who have
  PCOS develop a type of low-grade inflammation
  which lead to the production of androgens.

Complications

• Infertility
• Gestational diabetes or pregnancy-induced high
  blood pressure
• Miscarriage or premature birth
• Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis a severe liver
  inflammation caused by fat accumulation in the
  liver
• Metabolic syndrome a cluster of conditions
  including high blood pressure, high blood sugar,
  and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels
  that significantly increase your risk of
  cardiovascular disease
• Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes

• Depression, anxiety and eating disorders
• Abnormal uterine bleeding
• Cancer of the uterine lining (endometrial cancer)

• Women who have mothers or sisters having
  PCOS have a higher risk of developing it than
  others who do not have this situation. Other
  health risks and complications related to PCOS
  are miscarriage or premature delivery,
  infertility, endometrial cancer (cancer in the
  lining of the uterus), type 2 diabetes,
  depression, eating disorders, anxiety, abnormal

TREATMENT 

• Medications Of Diabetes
• The medicines recommended for diabetes will
  help to manage it as increased levels of sugar
  can cause PCOS.
• Fertility Medications
• In infertility treatments, some medications
  are required which includes the usage of Clomid
  and injectable medicines such as FSH (follicle
  stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing
  hormone). And, in some cases, letrozole is also
  recommended by the doctors.
• Treatment For Infertility
• Infertility treatments like IUI
  (intrauterine insemination) or IVF ( in-vitro
  fertilization), in these treatments some
  medications are given like spironolactone or
  eflornithine due to which excessive growth of
  hair is controlled.
