What are the causes of polycystic ovary syndrome?

Patient's question:

No discomfort, just light menstruation.

Doctor's answer:

1. Genetic factors, as it is a hereditary disease, generally follows an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. A large number of patients have a normal 46,XX karyotype. Patients with chromosomal abnormalities may exhibit X chromosome long arm deletion, as well as mosaicism of X chromosome number or structural abnormalities.
2. Dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis.
3. Abnormalities in local autocrine/paracrine regulatory mechanisms of the ovary.
4. The effects of hyperprolactinemia.
5. Abnormalities in adrenal cortex function, among others.
