PCOS is More Common than You May Imagine

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, often called PCOS, is a condition in which multiple small cysts on a woman's ovaries can affect her ability to get pregnant. PCOS is a condition which affects approximately 5% to 10% of women of reproductive age.

Even though PCOS is considered to be one of the leading causes of female infertility, it's often an embarrassing topic for women to discuss openly. One female "celebrity" with PCOS is Kate Gosselin, the tabloid headliner of the former TLC reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8. Gosselin's struggles with PCOS are the reason that she had to undergo fertility treatments in order to conceive her children with ex-husband Jon.

PCOS affects a woman's hormones, so a few of the symptoms of PCOS may include:

• abnormal absent menstrual periods
• decreased breast size
• increased body hair growth
• development of male sex characteristics
• an inability to conceive.

Regular gynecological checkups are crucial for all women, particularly if you feel you may have PCOS.
