With Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
What is PCOS
PolyCystic
Ovarian Syndrome (alternately known as Stein-Leventhal Syndrome and Annovulatory Androgen Excess) is the most common
hormonal disorder occurring in women during their reproductive years.
It’s thought that 4% to 10% of all women have the disorder. However, since many women don’t know they have polycystic ovarian syndrome or some aspect of it, the actual number probably exceeds 10%. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is one of the leading causes of infertility. Symptoms frequently start to show up soon after puberty.
