    Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by mild obesity, irregular or absent menstrual periods, and signs of excess androgen such as hirsutism and acne. Symptoms typically begin at puberty and worsen over time. Common symptoms include mild obesity, irregular or absent periods, hirsutism or excess facial/body hair, and acanthosis nigricans or thickened darkened skin areas. PCOS is caused by excess androgen production by the ovaries and can cause difficulties with fertility and other health issues if not properly managed.

    Clinical picture of pcos:
    Polycystic ovary syndrome is a clinical syndrome
    characterized by mild obesity, irregular menses or
    amenorrhea, and signs of androgen excess (eg,
    hirsutism, acne).
    Symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome typically
    begin during puberty and worsen with time.
    Premature adrenarche, characterized by excess
    dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) and often
    early growth of axillary hair, body odor, and
    microcomedonal acne, is common.
    - Mild obesity
    Obese women are more likely to have menstrual
    irregularity and anvolatory infertility than normal-
    weight women. In reproductive-age women, the
    relative risk of anovulatory infertility increases at a
    BMI of 24 kg/m and continues to rise with
    increasing BMI Consistent with a pathophysiologic
    role for obesity, weight reduction can restore
    regular menstrual cycles in these women. however,
    in up to half of women with PCOS, weight is normal,
    and some women are underweight.
    - Hirsutism
    is the excessive growth of facial or body hair on women.
    Hirsutism can be seen as coarse, dark hair that may
    appear on the face, chest, abdomen, back, upper arms,
    or upper legs. Hirsutism is a symptom of medical
    disorders associated with the hormones called
    androgens. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), in which
    the ovaries produce excessive amounts of androgens, is
    the most common cause of hirsutism and may affect up
    to 10% of women. Hirsutism is very common and often
    improves with medical management. Prompt medical
    attention is important because delaying treatment makes
    the treatment more difficult and may have long-term
    health consequences.
    Irregular menses or
    Amenorrhea:
    The polycystic ovarian syndrome can cause irregular
    periods. A patient with PCOS can experience irregularities
    in or complete cessation of the menstrual cycle. The
    average menstrual cycle lasts for 28 days, with cycles
    extending or shortened by seven days considered normal.
    However, polycystic ovarian syndrome irregular periods
    are said to occur, if any of these criteria are met:
    Eight or less menstrual cycles per year
    Menstrual cycles exceeding 35 days
    The occurrence of either heaver or scantier bleeding than
    normal.
    Other symptoms may include weight gain
    (sometimes seemingly hard to control), fatigue,
    low energy, sleep-related problems (including
    sleep apnea), mood swings, depression, anxiety,
    and headaches. In some women, fertility is
    impaired. Symptoms vary from woman to
    woman.
    Areas of thickened, darkened skin (acanthosis
    nigricans) may appear in the axillae, on the nape
    of the neck, in skinfolds, and on knuckles and/or
    elbows; the cause is high insulin levels due to
    insulin resistance.
