Welcome to this episode of "The Harley Street Doctor"! In conversation with our speakers  Dr. Enam Abood & Alya Shakir, today's discussion dives into a critical exploratory journey decoding a condition that challenges numerous women worldwide known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). 

The occurrence of this condition is much higher than understood to be, impacting nearly one in ten women. 

PCOS is not a disorder, but it's considered a plinth of the natural structure in some women. This segment aims to provide an exhaustive understanding of PCOS right from the rationale behind its name to the medical peculiarities associated with it.

In the detailed explanation of "What is PCOS?" we touch upon the expected and actual appearances of ovaries, giving you a clear perspective about PCOS and why it matters. The narrative unearths the potential complications such as fertility issues, persistent weight, and elevated testosterone levels which could induce excessive facial and body hair. Reiterating the fact, PCOS does not escalate into life-threatening situations or ovarian cancer.
