Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of infertility in women , and is primarily characterized by ovulatory dysfunction and hyperandrogenism. The diagnosis of PCOS has life-long implications with increased risk for infertility, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and possibly cardiovascular disease. It should be considered in any adolescent girl with hirsutism, persistent acne, menstrual irregularity, or obesity.
It is important to appreciate that PCOS is a syndrome, not a disease, reflecting multiple potential etiologies and variable clinical presentations. Adolescent girls with PCOS may present with hirsutism, menstrual irregularities, obesity, acanthosis nigricans, premature pubarche, and/or precocious puberty Any one of these findings may be the sole feature of the syndrome. Treatment-resistant acne, scalp hair loss, seborrhea, or hyperhidrosis also may be presenting chief complaints.
ultrasonography appears to be helpful in diagnosis

Hello there I have polysystic ovary syndrome and I can tell you that there are very different cases.
50% of the female population are said to have it and some cases are so mild people do not even know!
Some people have no periods some have more than usual.
It can cause unwanted hair growth and spots and some very uncomfortable periods (there is a contraceptive pill called dianette that can be used to help with these symptons)
It can also be difficult to conceive but there are good clinics at hand!
