Alright, so what actually is PCOS? Let's break it down in today's episode. Polycystic ovary syndrome often results in anovulatory cycles which can mean long/irregular cycles and heavy menstrual bleeding. It's also often associated with hyperandrogenism. Sounds scary (and it could be) but that's the seven-syllable way to say that you may have acne, excess body hair where you don't want it (hi, chin), and a tough time losing weight. Last but not least--you guessed it--your ovaries may have multiple (poly) cysts on them.
