Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine system disorder among women of reproductive age.

Most women with PCOS have many small cysts on their ovaries. Hence, it is called polycystic ovarian syndrome. The cysts are not harmful but lead to hormone imbalances. One hormone change triggers another, which changes another forming a vicious cycle.
