Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

It is characterised as a clinical disorder in which a woman's hormone levels change. It is characterised by higher than normal quantities of male hormones, which cause hormonal abnormalities and menstrual cycles to be skipped. Pelvic ultrasonography is the most popular diagnostic method for detecting it. The development of multiple ovarian cysts, which are immature follicles, gave rise to the syndrome's name. Increased testosterone secretion, in conjunction with luteinizing hormone and the presence of elevated insulin levels, is the primary factor contributing to PCOS development. Oral contraceptives combined with metformin are one of the most often prescribed treatments for PCOS.
