The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects millions of women worldwide and is perhaps the most well-known hormonal disorder. Common characteristics of the syndrome are irregular cycles, high androgens, and cysts in the ovaries. Although PCOS is mainly considered a bodily condition, its psychological effects can be equally—if not more—significant for a woman.

Despite being a common condition that affects many women of reproductive age, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is not widely understood and its long-term consequences are often overlooked.
