Polycystic ovary syndrome, commonly called PCOS, is a condition in which ovaries have multiple small cysts (fluid-filled sacs), and the ovaries produce excessive androgens (male hormone). Females may present with irregular periods, weight gain, infertility, and male pattern hair growth. Although not life-threatening, PCOs adversely affect endocrine, metabolic, and cardiovascular health. The ovary fails to release eggs and may result in infertility. PCOs may sometimes lead to peritonitis upon rupture or torsion.
