Hormonal disorders are a group of conditions that affect the production, release, or function of hormones. Hormones are chemicals that are produced by glands in the body and travel through the bloodstream to organs and tissues. They control many important functions in the body, including growth, development, metabolism, and reproduction.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age. It can cause irregular periods, weight gain, acne, and hair growth on the face and body.
