Women with PCOS have a higher than average risk of Type II diabetes, infertility and certain metabolic problems. For more information, check out >mayoclinic.org/diseasesandconditions

Infertility: PCOS can affect your ability to get pregnant as it affects your ovulation. Other metabolic issues such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, excessive hair over chin, chest etc, can also occur. Your Ob-Gyn can prescribe OCPs that can help regulate your periods.
