Understanding and Managing PCOS: Your Path to Optimal Health and Balance

What is PCOS?

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most prevalent conditions among women, affecting 10-20% of reproductive-aged women. Although PCOS is named for ovarian cysts, you do not need to have cysts to be diagnosed with PCOS.
