How Does PCOS Occur? – Step-by-Step Explanation
PCOS occurs when a woman's ovaries produce too many androgens (male hormones), disturbing the balance of female reproductive hormones such as LH (Luteinizing Hormone) and FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone). This prevents the ovaries from releasing an egg regularly, resulting in:
- Irregular periods or no menstruation
- Development of ovarian cysts (fluid-filled follicles)
- Hormonal imbalance affecting insulin and metabolism
