What is PCOS?
PCOS stands for polycystic ovarian syndrome. It’s a collection of symptoms (syndrome), involving multiple (poly) fluid sacs (cysts) in the ovaries. It’s widely considered an endocrine disorder — which means it causes a problem with hormone levels. The most common hormones affected by PCOS is insulin, testosterone, and female reproductive hormones like estrogen, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
PCOS is characterized by the formation of cysts (fluid-filled sacs) in the ovaries — but not everybody diagnosed with this condition have these cysts.
