Polycystic ovary disease is referred to as PCOD. Women with the syndrome experience cysts in their ovaries. As a result, the body produces more male hormones than is necessary, resulting in a hormonal imbalance. Along with other complications, the hormonal imbalance causes issues with menstruation and conception. In addition to having irregular or prolonged menstrual periods, women with PCOS may also have high levels of the androgen hormone. The ovaries could make a lot of little fluid-filled sacs called follicles but not consistently release eggs. If PCOD is not addressed, it can lead to more serious issues like diabetes and heart disease but can it lead to ovarian cancer?
Can untreated PCOD result in ovarian Cancer?
