When LH levels surpass FSH levels, oocytes in the ovaries fail to crack. This leads to the accumulation of uncracked oocytes, observed as polycystic ovaries through ultrasound, with numerous small oocytes filling the ovary. This condition, known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), often manifests in …
