Understanding PCOS as an Epidemic

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) has emerged as a significant health concern affecting a large number of women. The rise in diagnoses may stem from various factors, including greater awareness of the condition and genetic predispositions among certain ethnic groups. Symptoms commonly associated with PCOS include hormonal imbalances that lead to high cortisol levels, which can subsequently result in weight gain, acne, and other health issues. It is essential to recognize the early signs and symptoms of PCOS, as timely intervention can help manage the condition and prevent long-term complications.
