A member asked:
Is there a difference between polycystic ovaries and polycystic ovarian syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: The ovaries are polycystic and the syndrome refers to the medical issues related to polycystic ovaries such as menstrual cycle changes, hair growth patterns, weight, infertility, insulin resistance and increased risk of uterine lining overgrowth/cancers.
