Today Kicks off The Have a Heart for PCOS Campaign on Twitter and Facebook!

During the month of February people tend to share a lot of love for the things that matter to them So, I figured why not Have a Heart for PCOS?

Today I am starting The Have a Heart for PCOS Campaign #HeartforPCOSCampaign to run through the month of February... to encourage women with PCOS and their supporters to share how PCOS affects the Heart Physically and Emotionally by posting thoughts, pictures, links and hope!!!! 

LET'S GET PHYSICAL......

PCOS if left untreated can lead to one four major causes of death and disability in women today, Heart Disease, Stroke, Endometrial and Uterine Cancers and Diabetes. 

With a diagnosis of PCOS women are at a seven times great risk than the average woman of increased chances of heart disease!


High levels of masculinizing hormones: The most common signs are acne and hirsutism (male pattern of hair growth), but it may produce hypermenorrhea androgenic alopecia (increase hair thining or diffuse hair loss), or other symptoms.[7][10] Approximately three-quarters of patients with PCOS (by the diagnostic criteria of NIH/NICHD 1990) have evidence of hyperandrogenemia -Wikpedia


One of the major biochemical features of polycystic ovary syndrome is insulin, a risk factor for the development of heart disease, stroke and type II diabetes


LET'S GET EMOTIONAL.......

Of the up to 15% of women with PCOS less than half know they have it


Women with PCOS suffer in silence embarrassed by their symptoms



PCOS is the most common cause of female infertility


PCOS causes depression in many women living with the condition


Many women with PCOS have low self esteem


Many women with PCOS suffer from body dysmorphia


Many people misunderstand what PCOS is



It is due to these reasons that women with PCOS need to be heard and PCOS Awareness needs to happen NOW!! You can learn more about PCOS from PCOSAA ...

    Most ovarian cysts are small and don't cause symptoms. If a cyst does cause symptoms, you may have pressure, bloating, swelling, or pain in the lower abdomen on the side of the cyst. This pain may be sharp or dull and may come and go. If a cyst ruptures, it can cause sudden, severe pain., To avoid all this pains and cure it completely, Just use Agbara Herbal Deep Cleanser, and everything will be clear and you can get pregnant without any problem. drcureherbalhome@gmail.com.
