Irregular periods, excess hair and difficulty conceiving — a metabolic condition as much as a gynaecological one.
What you may notice
Around one woman in ten of reproductive age
PCOS is a hormonal and metabolic condition, not a problem with cysts — the name is a historical accident. Diagnosis requires two of three features and the exclusion of other causes. Management addresses the symptoms that matter to you: cycle regulation, fertility, skin and hair, and the longer-term metabolic risk, which is the part most often left out of the conversation.
