PCOS OR POLYCYSTIC OVARIAN SYNDROME

PCOS or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a hormonal condition affecting the ovaries. In normal menstrual cycle, there are usually many follicles around 7-8 on an average that start growing and one of these follicles will mature to release egg at ovulation. However, in a woman affected by PCOS, there is an imbalance in the FSH and LH hormone and over production of hormone androgen which makes multiple follicles to grow but none matures to an egg thereby causing infertility due to anovulation.
