- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or polycystic ovary disease (PCOD), the association of multicystic ovaries with three cardinal physical manifestations, irregular or absent menstrual periods, increased body hair growth (hirsutism), and obesity, has been recognized at least since the 1930’s.
- The irregular or absent menstrual periods are due to infrequent or absent ovulation, which often causes the additional symptom of infertility.
- Drs. Stein and Leventhal were among the first physicians to describe and investigate the syndrome; thus PCOS/PCOD is also known as Stein-Leventhal Syndrome.
