This case study is on a prominent health issue i.e. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or polycystic ovary disease (PCOD). Here we are studied a 30 years woman suffering from PCOD. It was one confirmed as PCOS by consulting doctor due to irregular menstrual cycles. It is a condition that affects a woman's hormone levels. Women with PCOS produce higher-than-normal amounts of hormones. This hormone imbalance causes them to skip menstrual periods and makes it harder for them to get pregnant.
