How polycystic ovary 
syndrome affects 
fertility?
Every month, in women of childbearing age, tiny fluid-filled cysts known 
as follicles develop on the surface of the ovary. Female sex hormones, 
including estrogen, cause one of the follicles to produce a mature egg. 
The ovary then releases this egg, and it breaks out of the follicle.
In women who have polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, there is an 
imbalance in female sex hormones. The imbalance may prevent the 
development and release of mature eggs. Without a mature egg, neither 
ovulation or pregnancy can occur.
The hormone imbalance may also include an abnormal increase in 
testosterone, which is primarily a male sex hormone. Women also 
produce testosterone, although it is usually in small amounts.
The United States’ Office on Women’s Health (OWH) note that PCOS 
affects 5–10 percent of women aged 15–44 years. They describe PCOS as 
a “common and treatable cause of infertility.”
Causes
Experts do not know exactly what causes PCOS, but it may involve 
genetic factors. If a woman’s mother or sister has the condition, she has 
a higher chance than others of developing it.
Along with a genetic link, excess insulin in the body also increases a 
woman’s risk of developing PCOS. Insulin is a hormone that the pancreas 
produces, and the body uses to convert sugar in food into energy.
Women with PCOS often have insulin resistance. Insulin resistance 
involves the body’s inability to lower blood sugar levels correctly. Blood 
sugar levels can become too high, which causes yet more insulin 
production.
Too much insulin also increases testosterone production, which leads to 
some of the symptoms of PCOS.
Symptoms
Symptoms can occur at any age or time during a person’s reproductive 
years. Symptoms can also change over time.
Some of the most common symptoms of PCOS include the 
following:
abnormal hair growth on the face, chest, or back
acne or a darkening of the skin
weight gain
thinning hair on the head
infertility
irregular periods
ovarian cysts
depression
increased skin tags
Not everyone with PCOS will have the same signs or 
symptoms.
Effects on fertility
PCOS can affect a person’s fertility in different ways.
Ovulation problems are 
usually the primary 
cause of infertility in 
women with PCOS. 
Ovulation may not 
occur due to an 
increase in testosterone 
production or because 
follicles on the ovaries 
dEov enno ti fm oavtulraet.ion occurs, 
an imbalance in 
hormones may prevent 
the lining of the uterus 
from developing 
properly to allow for 
implantation of the 
mature egg.
Due to unbalanced 
hormones, ovulation 
and menstruation can 
be irregular. 
Unpredictable 
menstrual cycles can 
also make it difficult 
to get pregnant.
Treatment
Currently, there is 
no cure for PCOS. 
However, treatment 
can increase the 
chances of 
conceiving in those 
who wish to become 
pregnant. It can also 
help people to 
manage their 
symptoms.
Symptoms vary between individuals, and so treatment is not always the 
same. Options also depend on whether or not a person wishes to 
become pregnant.
Treatment for PCOs symptoms may include:
• Birth control pills to help correct hormonal imbalances.
• Insulin-sensitizing drugs to improve the body’s use of insulin and 
so testosterone production, too.
• In the case of diabetes, medication to control blood sugar levels.
• Exercise and healthful eating to help boost overall wellbeing and 
control weight.
Maintaining a healthy weight can help reduce insulin and testosterone 
levels and improve symptoms.
Infertility equally affects both men and women. Infertility is a disease of 
the reproductive system which affects the patient’s ability to reproduce.
