POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME-A REVIEW ON EPIDEMIOLOGY, PATHOPHYSIOLOGY & HERBAL TREATMENT

The heterogeneous illness known as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) affects females and is connected to an endocrine reproductive disorder. It affects girls of 18-44 age. Complexities like many cysts and an irregular menstrual cycle are caused by the ongoing hormonal imbalance, which eventually makes it difficult for women to conceive. Several potential genes have been shown to be one of the factors contributing to PCOS. To determine the genetic linkage of PCOS, numerous investigations have been conducted. It is crucial to conduct research that pinpoint the  hormone imbalance, and PCOS's precise etiology. This review has emphasized on epidemiology, genetics, diagnosis and treatment of PCOS, which causes hormonal imbalance. Yet, this study was only a superficial attempt to understand the pathophysiology and genetic basis of PCOS.
