Woman’s Experience With PCOS Shared On Tiktok

“Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a lifelong, hormonal condition that we now know is probably under-diagnosed,” Dr. Mbaye shared with BuzzFeed. “It’s one of the most common causes of infertility, but because it’s a syndrome (meaning it’s actually a group of symptoms), it affects much more than just fertility and continues well past the younger years.”

While this is obviously alarming for those who may live with this condition, Dr. Mbaye wants to emphasize that PCOS can be manageable through an individualized and balanced treatment plan involving lifestyle choices, medications, or both.
