PCOS & Our Bodies

Welome! OurPCOS is a place for females with PCOS to come and meet women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, find healthy recipes and workout routines, learn more information on PCOS, or just receive support! Disclaimer: I am neither a doctor nor nutritionist, but will answer questions to the best of my knowledge and research, however, it is best to consult with your doctor before starting any diet plan, cleanse, and/or supplements. All articles are sourced to the original post. No recipes, information, or articles are mine unless stated otherwise. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common female endocrine disorders that is affecting women in numbers as high as one out of ten, although many cases remain undiagnosed because symptoms differ from one woman to another. While one woman may experience a range of symptoms, another may have little to none. PCOS is a condition in which the sex hormones in a female’s body are imbalanced, which can cause cysts on the ovaries, weight gain, changes in menstrual cycle, trouble getting pregnant, and other problems. If left untreated, it can lead to heart disease and endometrial cancer. At this time PCOS is not curable but with medication, exercise, and healthy eating, the symptoms can be treated.
Volunteer Opportunities

The PCOS Foundation is looking for volunteers to help us achieve our goals in the education and lack of awareness in the nation. We encourage any woman or man to volunteer their time by passing out materials, assisting in our events, or helping out in the Foundation’s office. Volunteers are always needed for collecting donations for support, awareness, answers and education or to become a leader in gaining community support and educational groups.

Our volunteers are the reason we are able to provide the education that can help save women’s lives. Whether you have PCOS or not, volunteering is an opportunity to help save the lives of 10% of women. Help make a difference, sign up today and encourage the well being of others.

Admin note: I am posting this for anyone that is interested. The above text is from The PCOS Foundation website and when I came across it, I found it important for others to share. I am not sure if you need to be within an area that they have a location or not, but it’s worthy of a post!
