Abstract
Teens - young people between the ages of 12 and 19 are often thought of as a healthy group. It is a phase of transition between childhood and adolescence. The impact of modernity and technological validation is evident in everyday life. Unhealthy eating habits and lack of exercise lead to many diseases in young people such as polycystic ovarian syndrome. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a common health problem that develops in adolescent girls and young women during childbearing age. The term polycystic means that many cysts and polycystic ovarian syndrome get their name because of the small, pearly cysts in the ovaries. Fluid-filled cysts containing eggs that have not yet been released due to hormonal imbalances.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex condition characterized by high androgen levels, irregular menstruation, and / or small cysts in one or both uterus. The disease can be morphological (polycystic ovaries) or especially biochemical (hyperandrogenemia). Hyperandrogenism, the clinical manifestation of PCOS, can cause inhibition of follicular development, microcysts in the ovaries, an ovulation, and menstrual changes.
