PCOS is a hormonal disorder that affects 1 in 10 women of childbearing age. It can cause irregular periods, trouble getting pregnant, and hair growth on the face and body. This condition results in irregular menstrual cycles, abnormal ovulation, high androgen levels, enlarged ovaries, and insulin resistance. It has been found to affect 5 million women of reproductive age globally. It also causes serious complications such as infertility, rheumatoid arthritis, high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes.
