    Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder that affects 6-10% of women of reproductive age. PCOS is caused by an imbalance of reproductive hormones that can affect a woman's menstrual cycle and make it difficult for her to get pregnant. Symptoms include irregular or absent periods, excess hair growth, acne, and weight gain. Long-term complications of PCOS include infertility, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, endometrial cancer, and anxiety/depression. Lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, stress management and hormone therapy can help manage the symptoms of PCOS.
