Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is one of the most common female endocrine disorders affecting approximately 5%-10% of women of reproductive age (12-45 years old) and is thought to be one of the leading causes of infertility

The principal features are obesity, anovulation (resulting in irregular menstruation), acne, and excessive amounts or effects of androgenic (masculinizing) hormones. The symptoms and severity of the syndrome vary greatly among women. While the causes are unknown, insulin resistance, diabetes, and obesity are all strongly correlated with PCOS.

Thank you for making this video. You were very thorough. My youngest daughter, 16 years old, was just diagnosed with having PCOS after suffering with the smyptoms for more than 2 years. Thank you again.
