Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
A condition marked by infertility, enlarged ovaries, menstrual problems, high levels of male hormones, excess hair on the face and body, acne, and obesity. Women with PCOS have an increased risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and endometrial cancer.
A condition of unknown or heterogenous genetic etiology that is characterized by hyperandrogenism and ovarian dysfunction, though the clinical features of the condition may differ between teenage girls and adult women. For teenage girls, the characteristic features generally manifest as persistent, otherwise unexplained hyperandrogenism and reduced or absent ovulation with associated menstrual irregularity, as determined by age- and pubertal stage-appropriate criteria. Additional clinical manifestations include some or all of the following: obesity, insulin resistance/hyperinsulinemia or frank type 2 diabetes mellitus, acanthosis nigricans, hirsutism, and polycystic ovary on ultrasound.
A disorder that manifests as multiple cysts on the ovaries. It results in hormonal imbalances and leads to irregular and abnormal menstrual periods, excess growth of hair, acne eruptions and obesity.
