“She is as patient as the earth never gets tired working for her loved ones.
She is bright as the sun, gives light to mankind.
She is brave as the Lioness, that she dies thousand times with pains just to give birth to her children”

Every woman is an embodiment of love and a goddess of patience. But do you know that the very strong women we knew also struggle with some undiagnosed and unspoken health problems? Yes, there is one such health condition that is the common enemy for women. It is PCOS.

What is PCOS?

The most common hormonal disorder for women who reached their reproductive age is PCOS, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. PCOS often causes hormonal imbalances in women between the age of 15 to 44 creating excess male hormones. Though the cause is unknown, several studies have revealed that genetics play a major role in developing this condition. PCOS affects ovaries and ovulation by causing cysts in the ovaries, which leads to irregularity in the menstrual cycle due to which most women are unable to get pregnant.
