Unmasking PCOS: A Journey of Understanding and Empowerment

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. Despite its prevalence, PCOS remains misunderstood and often undiagnosed. This lack of awareness can lead to feelings of isolation, frustration, and even shame.
