Not only does PCOS cause devastating short term effects such as infertility, obesity, acne, hair loss and excess facial and body hair. PCOS has a substantial negative impact on quality of life because of the disorder's multisystem conditions. Due to many of the symptoms of PCOS, women are often left to feel less than feminine and we would like to offer products and programs to enhance positive self image. Approximately 85% of women and teens with PCOS face weight problems and obesity, not to mention acne, excess facial and body hair, dark skin patches to mention a few symptoms!
