Eggs produce the egg that is released every month as part of the menstrual cycle. In case of polycystic ovaries the egg is developing properly or may not be released during ovulation as it should and therefore does not occur.

Causes of PCOS

The exact cause of PCOS is not yet known, but most experts believe that several factors, including genetics, play an additional role, in addition to the following:

High levels of insulin: Insulin is a hormone that regulates the transformation of your food into energy. Insulin resistance occurs when the body's cells do not respond naturally to insulin. . As a result, insulin levels are higher than normal. Many women with PCOS have insulin resistance especially if they are overweight or obese or have a family history of diabetes.
