Review Article On Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

PCOS, also known as polycystic ovarian syndrome, is a prevalent infertility condition that impacts a noteworthy segment of the worldwide populations. With a prevalence of 8–13%, depending on the criteria applied and population investigated, it is the most frequent endocrinopathy affecting women of reproductive age and the primary cause of anovulatory infertility in women. Although polycystic ovaries have been described since 1721, Stein and Leventhal were the first to report the condition. Polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD) is the term used to describe the condition when polycystic ovaries are discovered in healthy women. Formal diagnostic criteria were not proposed or widely used until a PCOS meeting sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the early 1990s. Numerous researchers conducted numerous experiments and attempted to explain the pathophysiology of PCOS.
