How to suspect if someone has PCOS
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common
endocrine disorder with a prevalence of
6-7% of women in the reproductive age.
It is characterised by chronic anovulatory
infertility and hyperandrogenism with the
clinical manifestation of oligomenorrhoea/
amenorrhoea, hirsutism and acne. Many
women are obese, have difficulty in losing
weight and carry an increased risk of developing
gestational diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
