PCOS, or polycystic ovarian syndrome, is a hormonal condition that affects over 5 million women of reproductive age. Women with PCOS may have infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods or excess male hormone (androgen) levels. The ovaries may develop numerous small collections of fluid (follicles) and fail to regularly release eggs. The symptoms can be quite unpleasant and many people goes years before receiving a diagnosis. While there is no definitive cure, there are treatment options you can discuss with your doctor.
