Introduction

• Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD), also known as
  Polycystic Ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a very common
  condition affecting 5 to 10 of women in the age
  group 1245 years. It is a problem in which a
  womans hormones are out of balance. It can cause
  problems with menstrual periods and make it
  difficult for her to conceive. The principal
  features include no ovulation, irregular periods,
  acne and hirsutism. If not treated it can cause
  insulin resistant diabetes, obesity and high
  cholesterol leading to heart disease.

Causes 

• Normally, the ovaries make female sex men
  hormones and a tiny amount of male sex hormones
  (androgens). These help regulate the normal
  development of eggs in the ovaries during
  each menstrual cycle.
• Polycystic ovary syndrome is related to an
  imbalance in these sex hormones. In PCOS, they
  start making slightly more androgens. This causes
  patients to stop ovulating, get pimples and grow
  extra facial and body hair.
• Follicles are sacs within the ovaries that
  contain eggs. Normally, one or more eggs are
  released during each menstrual cycle. This is
  called ovulation.
• In polycystic ovary syndrome, the eggs in these
  follicles do not mature and are not released from
  the ovaries. Instead, they can form very small
  cysts in the ovary, hence the name polycystic
  ovaries.
• PCOS seems to run in families, so the chance of
  having it is higher if other women in the family
  have PCOS, irregular periods, or diabetes

Symptoms 

• Acne
• Weight gain and trouble losing weight
• Extra hair on the face and body. Often women get
  thicker, darker facial hair and more hair on the
  chest, belly, and back.
• Thinning hair on the scalp
• Irregular periods. Often women with PCOS have
  fewer than nine periods a year. Some women have
  no periods others have very heavy bleeding
• Fertility problems. Many women who have PCOS have
  trouble getting pregnant (infertility)
• Depression

  managing your individual concerns, such as
  infertility, hirsutism, acne or obesity.
