In Summary


    This month is dedicated to raising awareness and understanding of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a common hormonal disorder affecting 6–13% of women of reproductive age worldwide.

    PCOS often goes undiagnosed, with up to 70% of cases remaining unnoticed, yet it accounts for 85% of ovulatory disorder diagnoses.

    The condition stems from hormone imbalances and can impact both physical and mental health.

    Symptoms include irregular periods, fertility challenges, acne, and excessive hair growth.

    By fostering open discussions and education, we aim to empower women, promote early detection, and support those navigating the complexities of PCOS.
