Período féuseful in case of policístic ovás

It is normal for the menstrual cycle and, consequently, the woman's fertile period, to be altered due to the presence of ovarian cysts, since there is a change in hormone levels, which makes pregnancy more difficult. In this situation, there is an increase in the production of androgen, which is a hormone that hinders the maturation of eggs, impairing ovulation.

Thus, depending on the amount of androgen produced, a woman with polycystic ovaries may have an irregular fertile period or not have a fertile period at all, for example. However, the presence of polycystic ovaries does not mean that a woman will never be able to get pregnant, as it is possible to have fertility treatments to increase ovulation and allow pregnancy.
