PCOS affects up to 20% of women and is one of the most underserved areas of health with 50-70% of women with PCOS going undiagnosed, untreated and unsupported.
PCOS is a serious genetic, hormone, metabolic and reproductive disorder that can lead to lifelong complications, psychosocial disorders, obesity, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, endometrial cancer, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, maternal/fetal health complications and other serious and life-threatening conditions.
