Natural Treatment For Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a complicated hormonal disorder characterised by a group of symptoms, primarily multiple cystic growths on the ovaries, high levels of male hormones and irregular periods.

Women with experience this issues with weight, body hair, periods and fertility due to this hormonal imbalance as well as a variety of other symptoms, depending on the individual

This is a common condition, present in 12–21% of women of reproductive age. Unfortunately, up to 70% of women remain undiagnosed and many who do receive a diagnosis feel they are not listened to or aren’t taken seriously when it comes to polycystic syndrome treatments.

There is no cure as such, but natural treatment can alleviate symptoms, increase the chances of fertility and aid in overall wellbeing.
