PCOS Awareness Month

September is the awareness month for polycystic-ovarian syndrome (PCOS), the most common ovulatory disorder with 6 to 13% of US women going through this syndrome.

The term polycystic ovaries is somewhat confusing since it is not about cysts on the ovary, but rather how the ovaries look. With PCO, there is a greater number of small follicles compared to normal ovaries.
