It can be diagnosed through hormonal testing, ultrasound detection of cysts, and can be caused by genetic or metabolic factors like obesity. Women with PCOS have a higher risk of health issues like infertility, gestational diabetes, and miscarriage during pregnancy and require careful monitoring. Homeopathic, Ayurvedic, and Siddha medicines may help treat PCOS through regulating hormones and the menstrual cycle.
