Hypothyroidism is caused by insufficient secretion of thyroid hormones by the complete loss of its function. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is one of the most common endocrinopathy of women at the reproductive age. There is a significant overlap of symptoms between PCOS and Thyroid disease despite the fact that the two are different conditions. The aim of this study is to describe the complications associated with depression, anxiety, and reduced health related quality of life among women with PCOD. Ovaries are the reproductive organs of a female which controls the menstrual cycle and the production of hormones like estrogen, progesterone, Inhibin, relaxin etc. In PCOD, the hormones of a women go out of balance which creates various symptoms, including the absence of ovulation, irregular menstrual cycle, difficulty in conceiving, weight gain, acne, and hirsutism. PCOS has two phenotypes, overweight/ obese and lean. Currently, most therapy is centred on the patients primary complaint. Treatment focuses on reducing hyperandrogenism symptoms, restoring menstrual regularity, and achieving conception. Women with PCOS are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, dyslipidemia, hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
