One of the most upsetting PCOS symptoms can be lack of ovulation, making it the leading cause of infertility in women of reproductive age.
You may or may not answer yes to all of the above symptoms. That’s the thing with PCOS, you may just be able to associate with one of the listed symptoms, or many of them.
A woman with PCOS may be overweight, have dry skin, acne, thinning hair and only ovulate every few months, or, another woman with PCOS may just present with fatigue, sugar cravings and ovarian cysts detected on ultrasound.
No one PCOS sufferer is the same – making it all the more important to look at a suitable, holistic and natural PCOS plan to recover hormone balance.
