Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a serious endocrine system disease that affects seven to ten percent of fertile women and is known to cause infertility, heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Though PCOS is very common, it often goes undiagnosed because of the confounding array of symptoms that accompany it. It is important to regularly visit an established and caring gynecologist who can identify PCOS like Dr. William M. Jamieson M.D., especially when you notice strange changes in your body. Dr. Jamieson is a women’s health expert who's capable of accurately diagnosing PCOS and providing his patients with the appropriate medical attention that can prevent cases of infertility and further complications.

PCOS arises when hormonal imbalance causes the formation of clusters of small, pearl-sized cysts in the ovaries. PCOS affects many parts and systems of the body yielding numerous symptoms. The many symptoms of PCOS can seem unrelated because they are so varied. Here are the seemingly unrelated symptoms that may indicate that you have PCOS:

• Acne
• Abnormal facial and bodily hair growth
• Thinning of hair on your head
• Infrequent and irregular menstrual cycles
