ACCORDING to Dr Mahes Sittampalan, a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist and a committee member of the Malaysian Society for Assisted Reproductive technology (MSART), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women, affecting an estimated 5 to 10% of women of reproductive age.  

For women trying to conceive a child, PCOS is a serious, common cause of infertility – nearly half of all female factor infertility cases can be traced to PCOS.
