Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) 3/24/2008 8:50:52 AM
Are you overweight or obese; trouble losing weight despite doing all the right things; irregular periods; trouble getting pregnant; multiple miscarriages; excessive hair growth on the face, chest, abdomen, etc; hair loss or thinning head hair; acne; high blood pressure; high cholesterol or triglycerides; dark skin patches around your inner thighs, armpits or neck? No, two women have exactly the same symptoms, but if you have two or more of these symptoms, the chance is that you may have PCOS. Getting early diagnosis could help you lose weight or save your life.
Do you know that PCOS affects about one in ten women of childbearing age (about five million or more American women)? And it can occur in girls as young as 11 years old? Do you or someone you know has PCOS? Let me hear from you. Share your thoughts.
