(POS)
a hormonal disorder characterized by incomplete development of Graafian follicle in the ovary due to inadequate secretion of luteinizing hormone; the follicles fail to ovulate and remain as multiple cysts distending the ovary. Further hormone imbalance results in obesity, hirsutism, and acne and the woman is infertile due to the lack of ovulation; this syndrome is known as the Stein-Leventhal syndrome. The treatment is administration of appropriate hormones.
