What are the causes of PCOD problems in females?

Although gynecologists have not detected any clear-cut causes for this disease so far, some evident factors are responsible for the PCOD problem in females, include:

• Androgen overproduction: If the ovaries produce high amounts of androgen, it can lead to PCOS. Excess androgen production disrupts the ovulation process. The eggs don’t develop regularly and cannot get released from the follicles where they develop. This causes infertility.
• Family History: Recent research has shown that specific genetic sequences are linked to PCOS. So, you are much more likely to develop the condition if you have a family history of PCOS.
• Insulin resistance: Insulin hormone — produced in the pancreas — helps convert sugar in your body into energy. Sometimes, your body cells become resistant to insulin functioning, causing blood sugar levels to increase. As a natural immune response, your body makes more insulin to reduce blood sugar. This excess of insulin levels also causes your body to make an excess of the male sex hormone (androgens). This may lead to PCOD problems that can impact ovulation. 
• Lifestyle habits: Poor lifestyle habits, such as excessive junk food, smoking, and excessive drinking, may also lead to insulin irregularities. This may further lead to developing symptoms of the PCOD problem among females.
