Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive endocrine disorder and something we frequently treat in our practice. It often results in irregular or no menstruation and fertility difficulties due to the lack of regular ovulation.

This condition got its name because most of the women with PCOS (but not all) have ovaries that look enlarged and contain numerous small cysts on the outer edge of each ovary.
