Answers:
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a disorder that affects the endocrine system. With PCOS, the normal hormone cycles are disrupted, causing an interference with a woman’s ovulation cycle. Hormones are responsible for various functions throughout the body, including regulating a woman’s reproductive functions (e.g., normal development of eggs in the ovaries). It is not completely understood why or how the hormone cycles are disrupted by PCOS.

PCOS is a syndrome rather than a disease. A syndrome is a group of symptoms that collectively compose a condition or disease.
