Did you know 1 in 10 women of reproductive age has PCOS? 🌸
PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) and PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) are often used interchangeably — but both affect how a woman's ovaries work.
Common signs to watch for:
✔️ Irregular or missed periods
✔️ Acne & oily skin
✔️ Excess facial or body hair (hirsutism)
✔️ Hair thinning or loss
✔️ Weight gain, especially around the belly
✔️ Difficulty conceiving
If you've been experiencing these symptoms, talk to your doctor. Early diagnosis makes a big difference. 💛
