Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome

It is described as a clinical illness in which a woman's hormone levels fluctuate. It is distinguished by elevated levels of male hormones, resulting in hormonal irregularities and missed menstrual cycles. Pelvic ultrasonography is the most common way for finding it. The syndrome's name stems from the formation of many ovarian cysts which are immature follicles. Increased testosterone secretion, together with luteinizing hormone and elevated insulin levels, is the primary cause of PCOS development. One of the most common PCOS therapies is the combination of oral contraceptives and metformin.
