- PCOS affects approximately 5 to 10 million people in the United States, making it one of the most common endocrine disorders among reproductive-aged women (about 1 in 10).
- Why it’s important to talk about PCOS: Many cases go undiagnosed, leading to long-term health complications such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, if not managed properly.
- Most OBGYNs dismiss it and miss the diagnosis.
- One of the most common causes for infertility is PCOS.
- Weight gain is common in PCOS due to Insulin Resistance.
- Acne and Hirsutism are from hyperandrogenism (High free testosterone).
- Education is paramount as early detection and early management can reverse this infertility for many women who are suffering from PCOS.
