Abstract: “Polycystic ovarian syndrome/disease” is abbreviated as PCOS/PCOD respectively. PCOS/PCOD is a heterogenous, multisystem endocrinopathy in women of reproductive age with the ovarian expression of various metabolic disturbances and a wide spectrum of clinical features such as obesity, hyperinsulinemia, menstrual abnormalities (oligomenorrhoea/amenorrhoea/anovulation) and hyperandrogenism10. Stein and Leventhal were the first to recognize an association between the presence of polycystic ovaries and signs of hirsutism and amenorrhoea. It may persist from an early adolescent age with various chronic complications such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, innumerable cardiovascular diseases; these congregated disorders are known as ‘metabolic syndrome’.
