What is PCOS?
PCOS or Polycyclic Ovarian Syndrome is the most common hormone disorder among young girls and women in their reproductive age. It has been shown that almost 25% women in India are affected by PCOS.
While this condition can make conceiving more challenging, women with PCOS deliver healthy babies every day. And trust me most of them unawares that they have the Syndrome!
What Is Polycyclic Ovarian Syndrome?
Eggs grow in the ovaries inside tiny fluid-filled sacs called follicles. When an egg reaches
maturation each month, the follicle containing it breaks open to release it (this process is ovulation). PCOS interferes with ovulation.
These fluid-filled follicles don’t burst, and instead remain in the ovaries as cysts — thus the name poly (meaning many)-cystic ovarian syndrome.
Despite its name not all women with Polycystic Ovarian Disease actually have cysts in their ovaries.

1. Genetic
