Causes, incidence, and risk factors
PCOS is linked to changes in the level of certain hormones:
- Estrogen and progesterone, the female hormones that help a woman’s ovaries release eggs
- Androgen, a male hormone found in small amounts in women
It is not completely understood why or how the changes in the hormone levels occur. The changes make it harder for a woman’s ovaries to release fully grown (mature) eggs. Normally, one or more eggs are released during a woman’s period. This is called ovulation. In PCOS, mature eggs are not released from the ovaries. Instead, they can form very small cysts in the ovary.
These changes can contribute to infertility. The other symptoms of this disorder are due to the hormone imbalances.Most of the time, PCOS is diagnosed in women in their 20s or 30s.
