Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine and metabolic disorder affecting women, particularly those in the reproductive age range of 15 to 35 years.). The syndrome is characterized by elevated androgen levels, menstrual irregularities, and/or small cysts on one or both ovaries. The disorder can be morphological (polycystic ovaries) or predominantly biochemical (hyperandrogenemia).

Hyperandrogenism, anovulation, and menstrual changes
However, PCOS has become a common problem among adolescents and young women in India.

Furthermore, Pcos among adolescents and young girls is generally undiagnosed and under reported, and it can cause serious complications if left undiagnosed and untreated. Therefore, it is crucial to prioritize the early diagnosis and comprehensive management of PCOS in young women in India. This approach should target the fundamental factors underlying PCOS, namely insulin resistance, hyperandrogenism, and hormonal imbalances. By addressing these root causes, we can effectively correct the reatures of PCOs and, in turn, prevent/reduce the associated risks and complications.
