What does polycystic mean?

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common endocrine system disorder in women. The main clinical symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome are menstrual disorders, including irregular menstrual cycles, abnormal periods, and ovarian failure to ovulate normally, which often leads to infertility. In addition, the high secretion of androgens in the body can cause women to have more body hair, more oil secretion in the skin, enlarged skin pores, acne and recurrence, which often leads to hair loss and other symptoms. The causes of polycystic ovary syndrome are complex. Genetic factors are one of the common causes of polycystic ovary syndrome, while poor personal diet and lifestyle habits can also cause or increase the onset of polycystic ovary syndrome.
