Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders affecting women of reproductive age worldwide. Characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, hormonal imbalances, and the presence of ovarian cysts, PCOS has become a significant health concern, particularly in urban areas where modern lifestyle habits are rapidly evolving. This study focuses on understanding the prevalence and impact of PCOS among women in Coimbatore City, Tamil Nadu, and examines how modern living conditions—such as dietary habits, stress levels, sedentary behavior, and environmental factors—contribute to the onset and progression of the condition. Data was collected through surveys and interviews with healthcare professionals and affected individuals. The findings suggest a strong correlation between lifestyle factors and the increasing incidence of PCOS. This study highlights the need for greater awareness, early diagnosis, and lifestyle interventions to manage and prevent PCOS-related complications.
