Overview

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age. It is characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, excess androgen hormone levels, and polycystic ovaries. PCOS can affect fertility, metabolism, weight management, skin health, and emotional well-being. The condition varies greatly among individuals and often requires long-term lifestyle management.

A Deviated Septum occurs when the wall separating the nasal passages is displaced, potentially causing breathing difficulties and nasal obstruction.
