Polycystic ovary syndrome (also known as PCOS) is a medical condition that affects your ovaries. Your ovaries might be larger than normal, as well as having a high number of follicles. There are various implications this might have for your body, including irregular periods, being overweight, or extra body hair. There may also be a chance fertility can be affected.
Current thinking is that PCOS tends to run in families.
Your doctor will be able to give you much more detailed information, and probably in a much clearer way than I can! He or she will also be able to tell you about various treatments, as well as give advice on what you can do to help keep things under control (like maintaining a healthy weight).
Make sure you ask your doctor any questions that pop into your head, as well as coming prepared with any questions you've already got. It's important you understand what is going on in your body, and your doctor really will be the expert who can offer advice, guidance, and support.
I wish you the best.
