Treating Polycystic Ovary Syndrome to Improve Fertility
You're correct that polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can be associated with infertility and an increased risk of early miscarriages. PCOS is a hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age, and it can cause irregular or absent menstrual cycles, anovulation (lack of ovulation), and multiple small cysts on the ovaries.
If a woman with PCOS is trying to conceive and has been unsuccessful after six to 12 months of trying, it is generally recommended to seek medical evaluation and assistance.
