Overview

The underlying defect in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) remains unknown, but a hormonal imbalance between LH/FSH and estrogen is mainly responsible for the development of polycystic ovary syndrome. Most studies suggest that more than one factor could play a role in developing Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Causes

The underlying defect in patients with polycystic ovary syndrom (PCOS) remains unknown and is thought to be multifactorial, but abnormal gonadotropin dynamics are mainly responsible for the development of polycystic ovary syndrome. Most researchers think that more than one factor could play a role in developing PCOS.[1][2][3]
