This common hormone disorder can create hindrances in conceiving

The Pleasure of mother hood and bringing a new life into existence is undoubtedly the greatest blessing to every woman. Every mother trained their daughters in teens to beware of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome which could get in the way of a pregnancy. Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common total body endocrine disease that affects women of reproductive age from puberty to menopause. It affects approximately 10% of women in the reproductive age group. Both males and females produce hormones called androgen, referred to as male hormones, which play a role in sexual functioning of the body. 

In girls with PCOS, the ovaries produce higher levels of androgens than normal, and this interferes with egg development and release. Some of the eggs develop into cysts which are little sacs filled with liquid and instead of being released during ovulation, these cysts build up in the ovaries and even get enlarged , hence the main polycystic ovaries or Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. Women with infrequent menstrual periods or irregular bleeding are likely to have PCOS. Increased growth of hair on the face, chest, stomach, back, thumbs, or toes acne, oily skin, or dandruff may be some of the signs associated with PCOS. Infertility or inabilities to get pregnant because of not ovulating, weight gain or obesity, usually carrying extra weight around the waist are part of the Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome.
