The effects of PCOS on fertility

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a chronic hormonal disorder that is caused by the ovaries having an imbalance in hormone production. It is not an incredibly rare condition, as it is estimated that 13% of people of reproductive age have it, with a further estimated 70% of them remaining undiagnosed.
