A Review: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Implications for Infertility
Abstract
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder characterized by the development of small cysts on the ovaries, which can inhibit menstruation and ovulation. Individuals with PCOS have excessive levels of androgens, which can cause hormonal imbalances, irregular menstruation, and symptoms of hyperandrogenism. Infertility occurs when ovulation is inhibited by the hormonal imbalance, preventing the release of mature eggs necessary for conception. This review will examine the complex relationship between PCOS and Female Infertility. Additionally, it will analyze various treatment options such as In Vitro Fertilization, Clomiphene, and Metformin, assessing their effectiveness to improve fertility outcomes for individuals with PCOS. The long-term reproductive health consequences of PCOS will be discussed in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of its impact on the body.
