PCOS treatment
Evidence based natural methods
PCOS
Polycystic ovary syndrome, commonly referred to as PCOS, is recognized as the most prevalent endocrine disorder affecting women who are of reproductive age.
This syndrome is named after the cysts that may form on the ovaries of some women diagnosed with this condition, although it is important to note that the formation of these cysts is not a universal symptom experienced by all individuals with PCOS, nor is it considered the underlying cause of the disorder itself.
Women may have symptoms like irregular or heavy periods, extra hair, acne, pelvic pain, and trouble getting pregnant.
