WHAT ARE THE CAUSES PCOS?

While the exact cause of PCOS is unknown, but we know that genetics plays an important role. Women are more likely to develop PCOS if they inherit diabetic gene from family & Obesity unmasks the symptoms of PCOS.

Overproduction of the hormone androgen (male hormone) may be another contributing factor. Women with PCOS often produce higher-than-normal levels of androgen. This can affect the development and release of egg during ovulation. Excess insulin (a hormone that helps convert sugars and starches into energy) may cause high androgen levels.
