The month of September is designated as PCOS Awareness Month!

A World PCOS Day was started in 2018 and since that time it has developed into a full month devoted to the condition. This allows people to share their stories and talk about how PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) has impacted them and their families. It’s also a time to share resources, talk about the issues, and discuss the potential for cures and treatments.

PCOS Awareness Month is recognized as a federally designated event, which helps bring more funding and support to organizations working to raise awareness and look for the best ways to treat the condition. Because PCOS is a genetic disorder it can run in families. It’s a hormonal and metabolic condition that affects women and is classified as a reproductive disorder.

Not only does PCOS generally create a lot of difficulty in getting pregnant, but it can also cause other issues with the reproductive system and lead to painful periods, excess facial hair, weight gain, thinning hair, and a host of other problems. The goal of PCOS Awareness Month is to increase awareness of the problem and improve diagnosis and treatment. Many women aren’t taken seriously when they present with symptoms, and that can lead to a delay in diagnosis.

Improving quality of life, making women feel heard, and getting them the right treatment options for their needs are all vital components of raising awareness when it comes to PCOS. There’s also a need for additional research, which could lead to better treatments and potentially a cure. Healthcare professionals and medical researchers are being encouraged to consider how they can help and the options they can explore.

Having a month of designed awareness improves the chances that women will be listened to when they see their doctor for irregular periods, trouble becoming pregnant, and other symptoms. It also raises the chances that researchers will continue to work on finding other ways to treat this condition, making it easier for women everywhere to have a better quality of life, fewer PCOS symptoms, and a higher chance of starting a family if they want to.
