N2 - Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex metabolic disorder impacting women of reproductive age. Globally, PCOS is estimated to impact 5% to 18% of the female population. Diagnosis is based on various characteristics, including hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, and polycystic ovaries. Given the involvement of female reproductive organs, PCOS impacts fertility. Currently, there are no evidence-based guidelines for dietary management. The purpose of this article is to describe PCOS, the role it plays in fertility, and the management of the disease through diet and lifestyle modification.
