Polycystic ovary syndrome ( PCOS ) is one of the most common female endocrine disorders. PCOS is a complex, heterogeneous disorder of uncertain etiology , but there is strong evidence that it can to a large degree be classified as a genetic disease . PCOS produces symptoms in approximately 5% to 10% of women of reproductive age (12–45 years old). It is thought to be one of the leading causes of female subfertility and the most frequent endocrine problem in women of reproductive age. The principal features are anovulation , resulting in irregular menstruation , amenorrhea , ovulation-related infertility, and polycystic ovaries; excessive amounts or effects of androgenic (masculinizing) hormones, resulting in acne and hirsutism ; and insulin resistance , often associated with obesity , Type 2 diabetes , and high cholesterol levels . The symptoms and severity of the syndrome vary greatly among affected women.
