We launched PCOS Awareness Association in 2012 to call attention to the widespread presence of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), a condition that involves a hormonal imbalance that affects more than 10 million women worldwide. Most people aren��?t aware of ��? or understand ��? PCOS because the symptoms are vague and can range from pelvic pain and irregular menstrual cycles to weight gain, dandruff or oily skin. (PCOS) cannot be prevented. But early diagnosis and treatment help prevent serious complications associated with PCOS, such as infertility, metabolic syndrome, obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Using the power of social media, special events, projects and social initiatives, we work to get the word out so that more women get tested and so that women who have already been diagnosed can receive the support they need not only from the resources available, but from their family members and those who are close to them as well.
