In recent years Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is globally emerging disorder among women. The present study undertaken in Mumbai city was to create awareness about PCOS. The target age group was 10 – 40 years and above. The study also focussed on interrelationship between BMI and diabetes as associated factors with PCOS. We observed that 23.87% of PCOS positive subjects were overweight. From our study a possible correlation could be derived that PCOS is a hereditary syndrome. Hirsutism, acne, alopecia, obesity and irregular periods were reported as associated symptoms. About 23.87% PCOS positive subjects were suffering with diabetes. Level of awareness about PCOS was very poor in PCOS negative subjects. Hence, initiative needs to be taken for women to be provided with information about PCOS and encourage timely diagnosis.
