Many people contribute blocked tubes, fibroids and things as being the number one cause of infertility in women but did you know that PCOS is actually the number one cause of fertility issues for women. 10% of woman are diagnosed with PCOS at childbearing age as young as 11 years old.

For those of you who do not know what PCOS is, PCOS aka Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a hormonal imbalance where a woman produces more testosterone than she does estrogen. Not to be confused with ovarian cysts. Ovarian cyst symptoms are very similar to those found in women with PCOS, such as irregular or non-existent periods, acne and weight gain, etc but has been found that women with ovarian cysts usually do not have much difficulty getting pregnant, whereas it is common for those with PCOS to struggle with pregnancy. Some of the popular symptoms of PCOS include:

🔎 Increased testosterone levels

🔎 Cystic acne

🔎 Unwanted facial hair

🔎 Missing periods

🔎 Male pattern baldness

Being that the testosterone levels in PCOS are higher than normal anything that can contribute to masculine features such as

🔎 Leaner muscles

🔎 Shrinking of the breasts a

🔎 Elongated clitoris

... are all signs of PCOS, so it makes total sense why we cant produce children when we’re becoming more like men hormonally 🤦🏾‍♀️.
