polycystic ovarian syndrome
An abnormal number of androgens, male sex hormones that are typically present in women in modest amounts, are produced by the ovaries in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). The term polycystic ovarian syndrome refers to a group of tiny cysts (fluid-filled sacs) that develop in the ovaries. Cysts, on the other hand, do not always develop in women with this condition; in contrast, they can in some women without it.
