Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Quote:
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) also known as Stein-Leventhal syndrome or functional ovarian hyperandrogenism, is a complex endocrine disorder associated with a long-term lack of ovulation (anovulation) and an excess of androgens (male hormones, e.g., testosterone.)

This syndrome affects approximately 5% of women. I am one of them. Recently I just found out that Kate from the TLC TV show titled John and Kate Plus Eight also has PCOS. That got me wondering how many other women could I find that has been diagnosed with this. Personally I haven't run into any other women with PCOS. It gets me feeling at times that I'm the only one. Are there any women here that has PCOS? Or is anyone friends with someone or related with someone that has been diagnosed with this syndrome?
