What is PCOS.



Here is what I found:


What is PCOS?
Polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, is a complex hormone disorder that may cause such symptoms as irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, excessive body hair, acne, and obesity. Not everyone experiences ALL of these symptoms. The syndrome is named for the tiny cysts that MAY form in the ovaries when the hormone imbalance interrupts the ovulation process. The term polycystic means composed of many cysts. If the hormone imbalance is left untreated, the syndrome may lead to life-threatening illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and uterine and endometrial cancers.
