Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or PCOD (Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease)   is a common endocrine system disorder among women of reproductive age.  Patients with PCOD have abnormal levels of hormones that result in irregular menses, infertility and certain masculine changes in the body. Women with PCOS produce higher than normal amounts of male hormones. This hormonal imbalance causes them to skip their menstrual periods and makes it harder for them to get pregnant.  Polycystic primarily means ‘many cysts’ and cysts are filled with fluid and immature eggs. PCOS is common and affects 10 to 15% of women in childbearing age. Women with PCOS may have enlarged ovaries that contain small collections of fluid — called follicles.
