Polycystic ovary syndrome is a type of endocrine disorder, and its exact cause is unclear, but it might be closely related to genetic and environmental factors. Generally, most women start to show symptoms during puberty. Blood tests for six hormone levels commonly indicate elevated androgen levels, or an imbalance in the ratio of luteinizing hormone to follicle-stimulating hormone. Persistent anovulation can be observed through ultrasound monitoring or basal body temperature tracking. The ovaries may display multiple cystic changes, which are actually anovulatory follicles. Some women may also experience insulin resistance and obesity. This condition can severely impact a woman’s menstrual cycle and normal fertility, as prolonged estrogen stimulation may also lead to endometrial cancer.
