According to the Mayo Clinic, there are several theories:
* Poor inflammation – Women with this syndrome have poor infection that causes polycystic ovaries, which produces androgens;
* Heredity – may be a family, so if your mother or sister have it, and you have a great chance to get it;
* Excess insulin – if you have too much insulin it may affect ovarians through increased production of androgens (male hormones), which will hinder the ovaries to ovulate regularly.
