What is the difference between pcos and cysts? plz help
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Differences:: Simple cysts result from failure of the maturing follicle to ovulate and involute and are quite common. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of infertility in women, frequently becomes manifest during adolescence, and is primarily characterized by ovulatory dysfunction and hyperandrogenism in addition to the cysts.
