PCOS is a common disorder that most women know nothing about. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a hormone imbalance that effects 1 in 10 women of childbearing age. It causes many small cysts to form on your ovaries, and can lead to infertility, obesity, and type II diabetes. Unfortunately, there is still much misunderstanding about PCOS, and many women do not know they have it until they experience difficulty getting pregnant. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms of PCOS, it is important to speak with your doctor and get properly diagnosed. There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for PCOS, but there are many options available to help you manage the symptoms. With the right treatment plan, most women with PCOS can live healthy lives and enjoy successful pregnancies.
