- - Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting 8-13% of women, characterized by multiple cysts in the ovaries and symptoms like insulin resistance, excessive hair growth, and irregular menstrual cycles, influenced by genetics, lifestyle, and environment.
- - The condition is linked to various serious health risks, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and infertility, with its complexities often passed down through generations due to maternal inheritance.
- - Advances in diagnosis and treatment, from Rotterdam criteria to modern technologies, emphasize the importance of lifestyle changes and medical interventions in managing PCOS and its diverse impacts on women's health from puberty to menopause.
