This condition is very different from suffering the condition known as ovarian cysts, polycystic ovaries happens due to the ovaries being covered in very small follicles. It is a condition which can have an affect on infertility and has also been known to be the cause of reoccurring miscarriages; in fact these two conditions are very often a sign of polycystic ovarian syndrome.
During a woman’s menstrual cycle very small follicles will grow on the ovaries and within these follicles eggs will develop; only one of the eggs, the one which matures the fastest will be released into the fallopian tubes. This is what is known as ovulation, there could be hundreds of remaining follicles and these will degenerate.
