September is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Awareness Month, and aware we should be. This is a hormonal disorder that may affect someone you know.
The side effects of periods, especially when compounded by underlying conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can be debilitating.

Many people are familiar with the supposed telltale signs of early pregnancy, such as a missed period, breast tenderness and fatigue. However, these symptoms can also be indicative of other health conditions.
