While it is quite difficult to find out the exact cause of PCOD but here are some conditions that may lead to the condition of PCOD.

High levels of male hormones: When a woman starts to produce high levels of male hormones such as androgen, then it could be a major problem as it can result to bodily issues or can disrupt the production of eggs insider ovaries.

Excess production of insulin: Insulin a hormone secreted by pancreas and has a purpose of observing sugars from foods and convert them into energy. But sometimes the cells in your body do not allow the insulin to do its work and this results in more secretion of insulin by pancreas. This excess production increases the production of male hormones and cause difficulty for the ovaries in doing their work.
