PCOS is a serious disorder effecting 6 to 10% of all females as young as 5 years old. Many don’t know they have it until they start to go through infertility treatments and even then they may not get diagnosed. Sadly, many PCOSers never get diagnosed. Women with PCOS need to see ENDOCRINOLOGISTS; but it is often mistaken for a gynecological problem.
