#1: WHAT IS PCOS ?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or shortly PCOS is a quite common hormone issue among women.And it actually affects about one in 10 women.

The reproductive organs in women that produce the hormones progesterone and estrogen, which control the menstrual cycle, are called ovaries, and they are impacted by PCOS.

A tiny quantity of androgens, or male hormones, are also produced by the ovaries. However, women with PCOS frequently produce more male hormones than is typical, and they also frequently have elevated levels of several other hormones.

When a developed egg is released from an ovary, ovulation takes place.Following your menstruation, the egg gets released from the body if it is not fertilized.Androgen production may rise if cysts form if fertilization is unsuccessful.

Women with PCOS have fewer periods than usual because of increased male hormones that interfere with the menstrual cycle.
