Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Details

PCOS is a condition in which the ovaries secrete abnormally high amounts of androgens (male hormones) that often cause problems with ovulation. Women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome have enlarged ovaries which contain multiple, small cysts. Although Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, also called Stein-Leventhal syndrome, can be completely asymptomatic, it more often is associated with symptoms such as irregular periods or amenorrhea (no periods), weight gain or obesity, excessive hair or abnormal hair growth, acne, and oily skin. It’s important to meet with an infertility doctor to determine how to get pregnant with PCOS.
