What is PCOS?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal anomaly affecting individuals with ovaries, often in their childbearing age. It’s marked by increased androgen (male hormone) levels, which can instigate ovarian cyst formation and disrupt menstrual cycles.
Irregular or infrequent menstrual cycles are common in individuals in Boca Raton with PCOS, as hormonal imbalances can disrupt ovulation, complicating the process of conception.
Additionally, higher levels of androgens might hinder the proper development or release of eggs from the ovarian follicles, complicating the journey to pregnancy.
