Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects 1 in 10 women in the UK.
The condition is a hormonal imbalance that affects ovaries, the reproductive organs and oestrogen and progesterone levels. It occurs when your body produces unusually high levels of the male-sex hormone androgens, which causes your reproductive hormones to become imbalanced.
While people with PCOS tend to experience irregular periods, infertility, facial hair and oily skin, there are more subtle symptoms that people could be missing.
