ABSTRACT

A complicated group of metabolic, reproductive, and psychological conditions that affect women throughout their lives is known as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a hormonal imbalance disorder that affects women who are fertile. High levels of male androgens, such as testosterone, are indicative of this condition. Amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), anovulation (absence of ovulation), hirsutism, acne, and obesity are some of the symptoms that may result from this. Metabolic impairment is another effect of PCOS. The ovary contains several immature follicles that are located peripherally and range in diameter from 2 to 5 mm. Hormonal imbalances cause these follicles to not mature, which results in an irregular menstrual cycle. PCOS is a complicated group of metabolic, reproductive, and psychiatric problems that affect women at all stages of their lives. Since infertility is the primary complication of polycystic ovarian syndrome, the condition is neither deadly nor life- threatening. Serious illnesses like obesity, hypertension, insulin-resistant type-2 diabetes mellitus, endometrial malignancies, ovarian cancer, etc. can all be directly linked to PCOS. The pituitary's hormone levels may change as a result of stress. There are noticeable anomalies because the menstrual cycle is hormone-based.
