Often unrecognized PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) can cause many physical and emotional symptoms and for the up to 21% or 1 in 5 of women and girls with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Worldwide, it is estimated less than half know what it is or that they have it.
Many women with PCOS, have gone years without the proper diagnosis and have silently suffered not knowing what was truly wrong. Even in today’s medically advanced era, women from around the country are experiencing the same lack of response from a medical community with little understanding of PCOS, except in cases when the infertility aspect are addressed. As a result, single women, adolescents, LGBT, older women and those not trying to get pregnant have little chance of being diagnosed!!!
PCOS can be a precursor to many life threatening conditions including type II diabetes, hypertension, cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke and kidney problems if left undiagnosed or untreated. This means PCOS contributes to some of the leading causes of death and disability in women today.
So why does all of this this matter?
PCOS is the leading cause of anovulatory infertility
PCOS is the most common endocrine disorder in women
Over 50% of PCOS patients are obese
50% of PCOS patients have diabetes by age 40
Approximately 34% of women with #PCOS have #depression and 45% have anxiety.
PCOS patients are at higher risk to develop high blood pressure, lipid disorders and coronary artery disease
As many as 40% of PCOS patients as young as age 30-45 may have coronary calcification (a warning of heart attack risk)
Therefore, PCOS leaders, government officials, organizaions and advocates are charged with identifying strategies for achieving substantial improvement in the quality of health care and education for all patients living with the syndrome. PCOS patients can not and should not simply be dismissed as a gynecological or infertility problem!
With more than half of the women with PCOS predestined to have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes before the age of 40, and increased risks for heart disease, stroke and endometrial cancer, finding ways to diagnose, screen and educate on the connection between thesee diseases to PCOS is imperative!
Without the proper education and awareness of these connected disorders and the seriousness of PCOS as a metabolic endocrine disorder, these epidemics will continue to rise.
The NIH needs to allocate more than 0.1% of funding for millions affected in The United States and needs to engage and direct federal agencies like NICHD, NIDDK and NHLBI to support more research, better physician education and better tools and resources for women and girls with the syndrome to live healthier lives with healthier outcomes!Read more

Petition to CGU (Complaints)
This petition was started in 2012. Since then the insurance crisis has spread beyond strata to that is what people started signing but I can let you know I am continuing the fight.
Insurance too.They are home to people like Lester, a self funded retiree. “Our complex premium has gone from restricted to very minimal visits to 6 grandchildren who are located in other areas. Our complex has not had a single insurance claim in the 6 years it has been built.”
It’s completely unjustified -- manyRead more
