Impact of PCOS on Fertility
PCOS can affect fertility in several ways. The hormonal imbalances associated with PCOS can interfere with the regular ovulation of eggs, making it difficult for women with PCOS to conceive naturally. In addition, the cysts in the ovaries can cause inflammation, which can damage the eggs and reduce their ability to fertilize. The hormonal imbalances can also affect the quality of the endometrial lining, making it difficult for a fertilized egg to implant and grow.
