research Definitions, Prevalence, and Symptoms of Polycystic Ovaries and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Polycystic ovaries are defined by having 12 or more small follicles in each ovary and are found in up to 33% of women, while Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common hormone disorder in women of reproductive age, potentially increasing risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart diseases.
