This hormonal imbalance causes women to have irregular menstrual cycles or skip their periods altogether and can make it harder for them to conceive. PCOS is a condition that affects women during their reproductive years (ages 15 to 44). Between 2 to 27 percent of women in this age group suffer from PCOS. This makes it one of the most common hormonal disorders in this age group. It often begins soon after the first menstrual period around the age of 11 or 12. It can also develop during the 20s or 30s.
