Stein Leventhal

Stein-Leventhal syndrome, also known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), is a hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age. It is characterized by a variety of symptoms, including irregular menstrual cycles, excess hair growth, acne, and obesity. The condition often involves multiple small cysts on the ovaries and can lead to fertility issues. PCOS is associated with insulin resistance and can increase the risk of other health problems, such as diabetes and heart disease. Treatment typically focuses on managing symptoms through lifestyle changes, medication, and sometimes fertility assistance if needed.
