About PCOS
Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common hormone abnormality of reproductive-aged women, occurring in up to 10% of such individuals. It is characterized by overproduction of the androgen testosterone, menstrual abnormalities when ovulation does not occur and enlarged ovaries containing multiple small follicles (polycystic ovaries). – UCLA Health
PCOS Symptoms
The symptoms of #PCOS can vary significantly from one person to the next, therefore a person often does not realize they may have PCOS. Public awareness about this syndrome are crucial to identifying women in need of treatment.
There is no cure for PCOS.
“PCOS affects about 14 million #women in the USA. That’s more than the number of people diagnosed with Breast Cancer, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus combined!” – Louise Chang, MD
