Does polycystic ovary syndrome cause amenorrhea?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it can cause amenorrhea. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a gynecological disease triggered by the dysfunction of the female endocrine system. Its main cause is the disruption of the endocrine regulation mechanism, which leads to the abnormal development, maturation, and ovulation of follicles within the ovaries. This results in the continuous production of numerous immature cystic follicles, ultimately causing the ovaries to enlarge in a polycystic manner. The main manifestations of PCOS include irregular menstruation or amenorrhea, hirsutism, obesity, and female infertility, among others.
