One of these follicles matures to form dominant follicle which ruptures to release ovum into the fallopian tube.In PCOS, no single follicle matures into dominant follicle.Multiple follicles are formed in the ovaries and none of them releases ovum.Thus, there is difficulty in conceiving.This condition can be treated by drugs.Clomiphene citrate is a drug preparation which is commonly prescribed for this condition.Consult your gynecologist for further investigations and treatment.Thanks and take careDr Shailja P Wahal
