It is currently believed that approximately 5 to 10% of women have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). It is the most common hormonal disorder in women of reproductive years and the leading cause in women for infertility. Since many women can have PCOS without exhibiting any symptoms, the actual number of women affected could be as much as 10% more of the population.
