Why is pcos commonly reffered to as polycystic ovarian disease? my dr. told my it's a syndrome and that i can get rid of it. is it true?

Choice of words: "syndrome" is a group of symptoms and signs with a common underlying pathophysiology. "disease" suggests a common cause to all cases. Entities such as adult-onset diabetes and pcos blend into each other, as both have to do with genetics, lifestyle, and environment. Call it either -- little difference, let's treat it. Aerobic fitness is often a great help for pcos.
