Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can occur when a female produces male androgen hormones in excess. Symptoms include; infertility, weight gain, irregular menstruation, and excess hair growth according to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
This lifelong condition may keep a woman from ovulating, thus preventing pregnancy. Lifestyle changes including change in diet, regular exercise, and weight loss can reduce PCOS symptoms. Long-term care can help prevent complications, including endometrial cancer, diabetes, or heart disease.
