Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) happens when a woman's ovaries or
adrenal glands produce more male hormones than normal.
One result is that cysts (fluid-filled sacs) develop on the ovaries.
Women who are obese are more likely to have polycystic ovary syndrome.
Symptoms of PCOS include:
- infertility
- pelvic pain
- Excess hair growth on the face, chest, stomach, thumbs, or toes
- Baldness or thinning hair
- Acne, oily skin, or dandruff
- Patches of thickened dark brown or black skin
Women with PCOS are at higher risk of diabetes, metabolic syndrome, heart disease,
and high blood pressure.
