What is PCOS?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal imbalance that affects up to 2 in 10 women of reproductive age. It can impact a woman’s menstrual cycle, fertility, appearance, and overall health — yet many women may not even know they have it.

Common signs and symptoms of PCOS include:

Irregular or
missed periods

Weight gain or
difficulty losing weight

Excess facial
or body hair

 

Acne or
oily skin

Thinning hair
on the scalp

Difficulty
conceiving

Why awareness matters:

PCOS isn’t just about reproductive health — it’s linked to long-term risks like diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease if left unmanaged. Early diagnosis and proper care make a big difference.
