PCOS Health Risk to Be Aware

What is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder among women. It affects 1-in-10 women in the world, but it remains undiagnosed and unmanaged.

If you just recently became aware of PCOS, don’t worry because it is treatable, and the symptoms can be managed and reversed. PCOS women have a hormonal imbalance and metabolism problems that may affect their overall health and appearance. 

Reduced Fertility

Infertility is a common cause for women with PCOS, but it is treatable. In PCOS women, the hormonal imbalance interferes with the growth and release of eggs from the ovary during ovulation. However, having PCOS does not mean that you can’t get pregnant. Incorporation of essential supplementations and lifestyle changes, pregnancy with PCOS is still possible. We suggest you take the Concevoir Value Pack (285g) to regulate your hormonal imbalance and, at the same time, improve your chances of conception.

Other Health Risks

• Diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Unhealthy cholesterols
• Sleep apnea
• Depression and anxiety
• Endometrial cancer

While the causes of PCOS are still unknown – don’t be afraid to seek help from specialists to find a proper treatment. You are not alone.
