What are the complications of polycystic ovary syndrome?

Patient's question:

Does PCOS cause infertility, and what are other potential complications?

Doctor's answer:

I. Infertility: Female infertility caused by amenorrhea and anovulation.
II. Tumors: The stimulation of the endometrium by a non-cyclical, persistent, relatively high estrogen level and elevated E1 and E1/E2 ratio, combined with the absence of progesterone resistance, increases the incidence of endometrial cancer and breast cancer.
III. Acne: Excessive facial sebum secretion due to hirsutism.
