        <p>Polycystic ovarian diseases affect approximately 5-7% of women especially in the young reproductive 
period (second and third decade of life). The studies of family members with PCOS indicate that an 
autosomal dominant mode of inheritance with premature male pattern baldness as the male phenotype 
may exist. Major features of PCOD include menstrual dysfunction, anovulation, and signs of 
hyperandrogenism. Although the exact etiology is not clear, PCOD is an abnormality of the 
hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian system. A characteristic of the syndrome is inappropriate gonadotropin 
secretion, which is more likely a result of, rather than a cause of, ovarian dysfunction. Clinically all types 
of menstrual irregularity, Obesity, Skin manifestations, Unusual hair growth &amp; Infertility and PCOD 
affects premenopausal women, and the age of onset most often is perimenarchal.</p>
