Abstract：
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a highly prevalent disease seen in women of reproductive age, and yet a majority of cases go undiagnosed. This autobiographical case report describes a young doctor\'s experience with PCOS and attempts to highlight the significance of a missed diagnosis. In addition to the endocrine system, PCOS affects the metabolic, reproductive, mental, and psychosocial health of women. Manifested symptoms are just the tip of the iceberg, and addressing what\'s underneath is the real challenge. The disease in its untreated and undiagnosed forms leads to a series of co-morbidities including, but not limited to, obesity, infertility, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Additionally, the emotional burden in PCOS women is a major threat to their quality of life and needs separate acknowledgment. PCOS is a pressing issue; the long-term consequences on physical and mental health need to be taken seriously.
