Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormone disorder defined by a group of signs and symptoms that affects the women of childbearing age. Globally it affects approximately 8–13% of women of childbearing age, and up to 70% of cases are undiagnosed. PCOS is the commonest cause of anovulation and one of the leading causes of infertility. PCOS is associated with a variety of long-term health conditions that affect physical and mental health. Although PCOS occurs within families, it is more common in some ethnic groups, and these groups tend to have more complications, especially those related to metabolic problems.
