Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is a medical condition among affecting the hormone levels of women in their child-bearing ages. It causes irregular period cycles, causes their ovaries to enlarge and form cysts on its outer edges. This hormonal imbalance occurs when their bodies produce above normal levels of male hormones, known as androgens.
This disorder could contribute to long term health complications like metabolic syndrome, heart diseases and diabetes. One in ten women in their child bearing ages are affected by this disorder, and studies have revealed that about 70% of them haven’t been diagnosed of it yet.
