🌿 PCOS/ PMOS Awareness 🌿

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is more than an ovarian condition.

It is a lifelong hormonal and metabolic disorder affecting approximately 10–15% of women worldwide.

While the exact cause remains unknown, researchers believe a combination of genetic and environmental factors may contribute to its development.

As our understanding of PCOS continues to evolve, many experts now recognize that it affects the entire body—not just the ovaries. Because of this, some have proposed the term PolyMetabolic-Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) to better reflect its hormonal, metabolic, and reproductive impact.

Common symptoms may include:

✨ Irregular or missed periods

✨ Elevated androgen levels (male hormones)

✨ Excess facial or body hair growth

✨ Insulin resistance

✨ Challenges with weight management

If you’re navigating PCOS, please remember:

💚 You did not cause it.

💚 You are not defined by it.

💚 You are not alone.

Awareness creates understanding.

Understanding creates support.

This is a brief educational overview. There is still much to learn about PCOS/PMOS and its impact on women’s health.
