Are you struggling with troubling body conditions like excessive facial hair growth or weight gain that's causing embarrassment? Before delving into high-cost treatments, let's take a moment to understand what's happening in your body and how we can address it together.

What actually is PCOS? 

Let's talk about PCOS, a term that might sound intimidating but is quite easy to deal with.

During puberty and up to around 25 years old, the female body undergoes significant changes. Hormone levels fluctuate, sometimes leading to irregular periods, a common effect of hormonal imbalance. 

And…

In about 30 to 40% of women, these fluctuations can result in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Now, the addition of the word “syndrome” makes it all the more scary but that's totally not the case.

 

PCOS is essentially a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age. It affects the ovaries' function, leading to irregular menstrual cycles, potential infertility, weight fluctuations, excessive hair growth, acne, and occasionally an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. But remember, you're not alone, together, we can navigate through this.
