This condition is characterized by the presence of multiple cysts in the ovaries, which can lead to hormonal imbalances that affect menstrual regularity and fertility.

In cases of PCOS, the enlarged cystic ovaries are often filled with immature or partially developed follicles, which result from anovulation (the failure to release an egg). This lack of ovulation is what contributes to the amenorrhea and infertility commonly seen in patients with PCOS. Additionally, the hormonal imbalances in PCOS can lead to insulin resistance, which is also associated with weight gain and other metabolic concerns, further complicating the fertility aspect and causing irregular menstrual cycles.

Pelvic inflammatory disease would usually present with acute pain and
