PCOS

Here is a picture of a normal ovary (top) and a ovary with affected with PCOS (bottom)

PCOS is now being considered a disease and not just a syndrome. It be believe that between 1 - 15% of women suffer from PCOS. My cousin and I both do. PCOS effects your insulin and it is thought that 30% of women effected by this will be dx with Type II Diabetes by the time they are 40. (Exciting right) ill try to post more info as i learn more about this condition. Heres a quick run down of some of the symptoms and i remember ill put a * by the ones that i suffer from. *irregular or no periods, *weight gain/unable to loss weight, *infertility, *pelvic/abd pain, *multiple benign cyst on ovaries, excessive hair growth, *early onset of periods. I know there are several more but these are the ones that i remember right now.
