2. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

• Symptoms: Irregular periods, acne, weight gain, excess hair growth, and cysts on the ovaries.
• Cause: Hormonal imbalance affecting ovulation.
• Treatment: Lifestyle changes (diet and exercise), hormonal contraceptives, medications to manage symptoms.

3. Endometriosis
