Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Clinic
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition, affecting about 1 in 5 to 1 in 10 women. It impacts the ovaries and hormone levels, leading to symptoms like irregular periods, excess hair growth, acne, and difficulty managing weight. It can also affect chances for pregnancy in the future and increase the risk of other health issues, like diabetes, liver problems, or heart disease, if not managed properly. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s really important to see a doctor. A healthcare provider can help diagnose PCOS, offer treatment options, and create a plan to manage the condition, so you can stay healthy and feel your best. Early care can make a big difference in preventing long-term health problems and supporting your overall well-being.
