Women with PCOS typically have abnormal gonadotropin levels, a problem that is manifested by increased release of LH in relation to FSH release. This causes an increase in production of androstenedione and testosterone by the theca cells of the ovary. PCOS is a common endocrine disorder affecting 5% to 10% of women of reproductive age and is a frequent source of chronic anovulation. The disorder is characterized by varying degrees of menstrual irregularity, signs of hyperandrogenism (acne and hirsutism or male pattern hair loss), infertility, and hyperinsulinemia or insulin resistance. A substantial number of women who are diagnosed with PCOS are obese, and most have polycystic ovaries. Hypertension is also common in women with PCOS.
