PCOS: What Every Girl Needs To Know

Whenever I think about PCOS, I always go back to when I was first diagnosed. I didn't know anything about it. It was never discussed in health class. No one ever talked about it, and no one ever admitted to having it. Yet it is one of the most common endocrine system disorders in females. Why is it that at age 20 I was just now hearing about it?

In an ideal world there would be no such thing as diseases, syndromes, or even sicknesses. But we don't live in such a place. We live in a less than ideal world. But even for a less than ideal world certain sicknesses and ailments are still kept from the public, kept from schools, etc. People don't educate themselves or open up about what they ahve with others. This makes the place we live, even less than "less ideal."

people don't need to know about every single detail of every single disease. But things that are common, things that could potentially devistate a woman, her husband, and the possibility of having a family should be something that is spoken about.
