What is PCOS?

PCOS affects about one in 10 women. This condition is associated with increased levels of two hormones in the body – androgens (male-type hormones) and insulin. Women with PCOS may experience different symptoms which can range from mild to severe. Symptoms can also change at different stages of your life.

If symptoms are affecting your quality of life, talk to your doctor

They will ask about your symptoms and your medical history, and may recommend some tests, including a blood test and ultrasound.
