Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS is the hormonal disorder in females of reproductive age. It is the condition in which female ovaries tend to make more of the male hormones as compared to female hormones. If the condition is not treated on time, it can lead to serious problems like type 2 diabetes, obesity, infertility etc. Women suffering from PCOS may have irregular, infrequent or prolonged menstrual cycles and excess male hormone (androgen) levels leading to abnormal hair growth.
Polycystic Ovarian Disorder or PCOD is the condition in which ovaries contain many partially mature or immature eggs, which eventually turn into cysts. Junk food, obesity, stress and hormonal imbalance can give birth to this condition. Common symptoms of PCOD are similar to those of PCOS.
