Weight loss for PCOS

PCOS, or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, is a hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age. It occurs when a woman's ovaries produce high levels of male hormones, which can cause irregular periods, weight gain, acne, and excessive hair growth. Women with PCOS may also have cysts on their ovaries, although this is not always the case. PCOS is a common condition that affects approximately 1 in 10 women of childbearing age, and it can have long-term health consequences if left untreated, such as an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
