Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of anovulation, leading to irregular, infrequent, or absent menstrual periods and infertility. It can also lead to complications during pregnancy and increase the risk of endometrial cancer. Additionally, it is associated with metabolic syndrome, increasing the risk of diabetes and central obesity.\u00a0Individuals with PCOS can conceive naturally, but it is more challenging than for those without PCOS and carries a higher risk of miscarriage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Treatment options to induce ovulation or manage infertility include medications such as Letrozole, Cyclophene Citrate, and Gonadotrophins.
