For a female who has PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) the ovaries release immature eggs unlike what we see In a normal menstrual cycle where the two ovaries alternately release mature eggs every month. PCOD can develop cysts (fluid-filled sacs) on ovaries due to lack of ovulation (anovulation). Hormonal imbalance, Genetic Tendencies, and Environmental Factors are the major reason for Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD). PCOD can lead to swelling and enlargement of ovaries, irregular periods, the release of excess male hormones (androgens), and even infertility
