PCOS: Pcos is polycystic ovarian syndrome, a complex condition usually associated with irregular menstrual cycles and unwanted symptoms of excess male hormone (like acne and/or male-type hair growth). Since it's associated with various medical problems, it's usually in your best interest to see a board certified reproductive endocrinologist. I'm an expert in this. www.reproendo.com.

Other signs include obesity, hirsutism, insuline resistance and enlarged ovaries due to cysts. Patients with pcos have increased risks of heart disease, diabetes, and breast cancer.
