Overview
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders of reproductive-age women, with a prevalence of 4-12% in the United States. Up to 10% of women are diagnosed with PCOS.[1][2]
Epidemiology
Prevalence
- Approximately 5% to 10% of women of reproductive age are affected.[1][2]
- Prevalence among first-degree relatives of patients with PCOS is 25% to 50%, suggesting a strong inheritance of the syndrome; there is evidence for possible X-linked dominant transmission.
Demographics
Age
Polycystic ovary syndrome can appear anytime from menarche until menopause but generally, is seen around menarche and is diagnosed then or in early adulthood
Gender
Polycystic ovary syndrome occurs in approximately 1 in 10 women.
