Common PCOS myths

PCOS can lead to missed periods, irregular cycles, unpredictable ovulation, acne, excess hair, obesity, thin hair, cysts on the ovaries, and infertility. The exact cause of PCOS is not clear, but genome-wide studies have identified some genes that may play a role in its development and predispose women to the disease.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormone imbalance in women where their ovaries produce excess androgen hormone.
