We are lighting up in support of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Day on September 1.
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. PCOS is also the leading cause of female infertility and the most common endocrine (hormone) disorder in women.
World PCOS Day is an opportunity for those around the globe who are affected by polycystic ovary syndrome to come together in solidarity for PCOS Awareness.

Last year 18 countries and over 200 locations participated in the event worldwide!
