By Emily Johnson, Founder of Hey Cysters
What is PCOS? We have probably all heard of PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome). The mood swings, crying, anxiety or depression. The dreaded cramps. The fatigue... You know the type where you yawn constantly at work and could sleep for days. We can’t forget the ravenous food cravings. Did you know that a serious hormone disorder called PCOS (Polycystic Syndrome) could also mimic PMS symptoms? Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects up to 15% of reproductive-age women in the U.S. PCOS is a serious genetic, hormone, metabolic, and reproductive disorder that can lead to lifelong complications. If you are diagnosed with PCOS you could be at risk for developing psychosocial disorders, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, infertility, endometrial cancer, and other conditions. PCOS is the leading cause of the most common endocrine (hormone) disorder in women and female infertility within the U.S. and other countries across the globe. 22
