Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex hormonal disorder that affects many women. It is characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, excess androgen levels, and the formation of multiple cysts on the ovaries. Other terms used to refer to PCOS include Stein-Leventhal Syndrome, hyperandrogenic anovulation, and polycystic ovary disease. Some researchers have also suggested using the term "metabolic reproductive syndrome" to better capture the metabolic and fertility-related aspects of the disorder. Regardless of the term used, it is important for women with PCOS to seek appropriate medical care and management strategies to improve their health and quality of life.
