What is PCOS?<\/h2><\/div>

Looking at the role your ovaries play in your reproductive system can help you understand polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).<\/p>\n

Each month, your ovaries produce an egg, which they prepare and release for fertilization. This action is dictated by your hormones, primarily estrogen and progesterone, which are also produced by your ovaries.<\/p>\n

PCOS disrupts the hormonal balance in your ovaries, causing a disruption in egg production and release. Often eggs don\u2019t develop correctly, or they aren\u2019t released as they should be during your ovulation cycles, which can lead to cysts on your ovaries.<\/p>\n

The hormonal imbalance also creates higher levels of androgen, the hormone responsible for male characteristics.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
