Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a metabolic, reproductive, and psychological complex series of disorders that impacts a woman throughout her lifespan. PCOS is a disorder of hormonal imbalance occurring in women of reproductive age. This disorder is characterized by high levels of male androgens like testosterone. This can lead to symptoms like irregular periods, amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), anovulation (absence of ovulation), hirsutism, acne, and obesity. PCOS also causes metabolic impairment. Multiple peripherally arranged immature follicles of about 2-5mm in diameter are present in the ovary. These follicles do not mature due to hormonal imbalances leading to an irregular menstrual cycle. PCOS is a metabolic, reproductive, and psychological complex series of disorders that impacts a woman throughout her lifespan. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is not a fatal or life-threatening disorder as its main complication is infertility. PCOS can be a root cause of serious medical conditions like obesity, hypertension, type-2 diabetes mellitus due to insulin resistance, endometrial cancers, ovarian cancer, etc. Stress may cause the hormone levels in the pituitary to fluctuate. Since the menstrual cycle is hormone-based, there are apparent irregularities.
多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）是一种代谢、生殖和心理方面的复杂系列疾病，会影响女性一生。PCOS是一种发生在育龄女性中的激素失衡疾病。这种疾病的特征是睾酮等男性雄激素水平升高。这会导致月经不规律、闭经（无月经）、无排卵、多毛、痤疮和肥胖等症状。PCOS还会导致代谢障碍。卵巢中存在多个直径约2 - 5毫米、周边排列的未成熟卵泡。由于激素失衡，这些卵泡无法成熟，导致月经周期不规律。多囊卵巢综合征是一种代谢、生殖和心理方面的复杂系列疾病，会影响女性一生。多囊卵巢综合征不是致命或危及生命的疾病，因为其主要并发症是不孕。PCOS可能是肥胖、高血压、胰岛素抵抗导致的2型糖尿病、子宫内膜癌、卵巢癌等严重疾病的根本原因。压力可能导致垂体中的激素水平波动。由于月经周期基于激素，所以会出现明显的不规律。
