Polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS as it's more commonly known, is a hormonal disorder that affects one in 10 women in Singapore.

Symptoms vary from person to person, but typically include irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, rapid weight gain, as well as acne and excessive facial and body hair; many women also do not experience any symptoms, which is one of the main reasons why PCOS typically goes undiagnosed.
