Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder affecting many women of reproductive age. It leads to various symptoms related to hormone imbalances.
Menstrual cycles that are longer than 35 days, missed periods, or fewer than eight cycles a year may indicate PCOS.
Women with PCOS often have higher-than-normal levels of androgens and insulin.
Unwanted hair growth on the face, chest, or back, known as hirsutism, is common in women with PCOS due to higher androgen levels.

Severe acne or unusually oily skin, particularly after puberty, could be a sign of hormone imbalances related to PCOS.
Unexplained weight gain, especially around the abdomen, is a typical symptom, as PCOS can make it harder to maintain a healthy weight.
PCOS can cause ovulation problems, leading to difficulty getting pregnant.
