MEDICAL NOTES
PCOS

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common disease affecting 3-5% of women of reproductive age. Despite the fact that it was first recognised in 1935, the exact cause of the syndrome remains elusive and there is no 'one-treatment-fits-all' answer to its management. Common symptoms include irregular periods, weight gain, hirsutism and infertility.
