Background: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a complex common endocrine disorder in reproductive women. As it represents widespread clinical manifestations, it is misunderstood and diagnosed lately. By creating awareness and early diagnosis of polycystic ovarian syndrome, the prevalence, and complications in later stages of life can be decreased. Aim: To find the prevalence and to create awareness regarding the polycystic ovarian syndrome among reproductive age women. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted by circulating questionnaires along with information leaflet among the reproductive age women. Results: In our study, the prevalence of polycystic ovarian syndrome was found to be 13.08% out of 237 participants. 152 (64.13%) participants represent with multiple symptoms even if they have not done investigation for the condition. Conclusion: The study demonstrates that polycystic ovarian syndrome is one of the most emerging problem among reproductive women. And due to several factors, the symptoms remain unseen by many women and because of it; the condition can come out only after certain complications like infertility. On early diagnosis of the women who are at risk and changing lifestyle habits and early clinical interventions, the future complications can be resolved or prevented.
