Polycystic ovarian disease is a hormonal condition in which many small cysts in the ovaries can affect a woman's ability to get pregnant. It can cause irregular or no periods, acne, obesity, excessive hair growth, thinning hair, and patches of darker skin. Long term complications if not treated include diabetes and heart disease, high blood pressure, and uterine cancer. There are certain things women who may get this disease must know to to prevent the disease, its symptoms, and its complications.

3. See a gynecologist or endocrinologist for a physical exam, blood tests, and an ultrasound.
4. Cut refined sugar and flour from your diet.
5. Increase egg production with a surgical procedure called ovarian drilling.
