Abstract
BACKGROUND: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a medical condition that causes hormonal disorders in women in their childbearing years. The hormonal imbalance leads to a delayed or even absent menstrual cycle. Women with PCOS mainly suffer from extreme weight gain, facial hair growth, acne, hair loss, skin darkening, and irregular periods, leading to infertility in rare cases. Doctors usually examine ultrasound images and conclude the affected ovary but are incapable of deciding whether it is a normal cyst, PCOS, or cancer cyst manually.
