PCOS, which stands for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, is a common hormonal disorder that primarily affects women of reproductive age. The exact cause of the condition is not known, however, early diagnosis and treatment may lower the risk of long-term complications. It is characterized by enlarged ovaries and the formation of tiny cysts on the outer side of the ovaries. These rarely reach maturity or produce eggs that can be fertilized.
