Descriere

Description A hormonal disorder, PCOS or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome affects many women in their full reproductive age. Common signs to look out for include inconsistent menstrual periods or abnormally high presence of Androgen - a male hormone.

Finding out if you have PCOS in its early stage and getting the right treatment are your best ways of staying safe or effectively managing the condition.

And with a trusty diet cookbook to follow, such as this PCOS Cookbook, you can be on your way to
