What is PCOS please? TY PJ

Hi PJ; PCOS - Is also known as Stein-Leventhal Syndrome or Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD). Affects an estimated 6-10% of all women and most don't even know they have it. Is treatable, but not curable, by medications, changes in diet and exercise. Is one of the leading causes of infertility in women. Has been identified for 75 years and they still aren't sure what causes it. Affects far more than just reproduction. IT IS NOT just a cosmetic problem. Can include the following symptoms: Irregular or absent menses. Numerous cysts on the ovaries in many, but not all, cases High blood pressure, Acne, Elevated insulin levels, Insulin Resistance, or Diabetes, Infertility, Excess hair on the face and body and Thinning of the scalp hair (alopecia) also may include weight problems or obesity that is centered around your mid section. I hope this helps....I know it's ALOT!!
