Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Polycystic ovaries are ovaries that are actually covered with very small follicles in which the egg develops.

The cysts can cause a hormonal imbalance where in the most extreme form of PCOS, you would tend to be overweight, have no or very few periods, be prone to acne, grow unusually heavy body hair, often on the face, breasts and inside of the legs, and be susceptible to mood swings.

And with this can come problems with fertility and often recurrent miscarriages.

Women with PCOS may be seven times more likely to develop diabetes because of problems with blood sugar balance.
