Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a complex disorder affecting women of reproductive age, characterized by hormonal imbalances with elevated male androgens like testosterone. This leads to symptoms such as irregular periods, amenorrhea, anovulation, hirsutism, acne, and obesity. PCOS is associated with metabolic impairments and can result in infertility, though it is not life-threatening. It can also contribute to serious health conditions like obesity, hypertension, type-2 diabetes due to insulin resistance, and certain cancers.
