What is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?
PCOS is a hormonal condition.
Hormones are chemical messengers that control the way the body works.
PCOS is a common condition with up to 1 in 5 women of child bearing age affected. In PCOS two hormones, insulin and male type hormones are produced in higher levels, which results in problems such as:

Periods less regular (more or less often)
Emotional problems (anxiety or depression)
Hair growth on face, stomach, back
Acne or pimples
Easy weight gain
Delays getting pregnant
Diabetes
More risk factors for heart disease
Not all women with PCOS will have all of these symptoms as PCOS can vary between women and changes with age. The name of this condition,polycystic ovary syndrome, suggests that the problem is mainly with the ovaries. This is not correct. It is the increased levels of male type hormones that cause the ovaries to work differently causing many of the problems listed above.
