What happens in PCOS?
In PCOS, some of the follicles remain immature, not reaching full development or ovulating to produce an egg capable of being fertilized. This means that the woman with this syndrome rarely ovulates and so is less fertile. She also does not have regular periods. Other features of the condition are excess weight and excess body hair. In polycystic ovary syndrome, female body produces an excess of androgens, and ratio of LH to FSH is often abnormally high.
