The statistics has increased to 1 in 5 and yet very little awareness.

Last year a pre-recorded radio interview was conducted on PCOS I couldn't air it all because the doctor who spoke said that PCOS affects females of childbearing age and females who are sexually active. This is to show that the awareness on this issue is really low.

AWESONE QUESTION... my thoughts are most view it as either simply cosmetic or an infertility issue and do not address it is a serious endocrine disorder that affects the entire body with serious consequence if untreated, misdiagnosed or mistreated we need to #prioritizepcos
If #PCOS impacts at least 10% of women, in a range of physiological and psychological ways, then why do so few people in gynaecology / women's health and in psychology take any interest in PCOS? To me, that's the big question to be answered in PCOS Awareness Month
It sucks wete made to feel so lost and alone... It should be easier with 1 on 5 women affected.. we need to make #PCOS a priority #PCOSAwarenessMonth #worldpcosday

In my 32 years in this life, i only just heard that some women use "vacuum hose" to "suck out their periods" so as to shorten the length of their menstrual flow 😭😭 So i looked it up. Alas, it has been a thing. Since 1971 😟 (Thread)

#PCOS can cause #hormonal imbalances along with #stress, this can cause rapid changes in blood sugar and insulin levels. As a result #fatigue may make you feel too tired to get out of bed in the morning and/or extremely #sleepy and tired by afternoon #sleepy #bedtime #rest – at Sewell, NJ
