2023 PCOS Awareness Month
Sep
1
to Sep 30

2023 PCOS Awareness Month

  • PCOS Awareness Association (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects one in five women of reproductive age. It can cause numerous physical and emotional symptoms, including irregular periods, excessive hair growth, acne, weight gain, depression, and anxiety. During PCOS Awareness Month in September, it’s essential to spread the word about this condition and its challenges for women.

It is estimated that approximately 5 million women in the United States have PCOS. Symptoms can vary from woman to woman, making diagnosis difficult. Women with PCOS often experience higher levels of testosterone than other women due to a hormone imbalance which causes various problems such as unwanted hair growth on their face and body, irregular menstrual cycles, and difficulty controlling weight gain. Acne outbreaks can also be an issue among those who suffer from PCOS. In addition to physical symptoms, many women with PCOS experience depression and anxiety due to their condition and feelings of isolation due to a lack of understanding or awareness of the condition by others.

In recent years, health organizations have increased efforts to raise awareness about PCOS during National Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Awareness Month in September each year. This campaign raises awareness about the condition and encourages those who may be suffering from the disease to seek medical advice for diagnosis and treatment options. The aim is to educate people about PCOS and support those living with the condition through education programs and online resources such as webinars, podcasts, forums, and social media groups.

During Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Awareness Month, it's essential to recognize this misunderstood disorder and support those suffering from its effects daily. Get involved by sharing information about PCOS on your social media accounts or hosting an event for friends or family members who are affected by the disease so that they know they are not alone in dealing with its complications. It’s also essential to make sure your healthcare provider knows if you suspect you may have PCOS so that they can work with you on finding a treatment plan to help manage your symptoms.

PCOS CON (www.pcoscon.org)
PCOS Awareness Association (PCOSAA), a worldwide non-profit support organization advancing the cause for individuals with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), is thrilled to present to the public the first-ever PCOS CON event to take place on September 19-21, 2019 just outside of Washington, DC.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects over 10,000,000 individuals of reproductive age. It is one of the most common endocrine disorders and is the leading cause of female infertility. It can also lead to obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and endometrial cancer.

This conference intends to make PCOS a priority in public health; it affects 1 in 5 women and can have a long-term effect on their overall health, yet PCOS is highly overlooked by the public and medical professionals. This platform creates an avenue for people to learn accurate information, get support and to empower themselves as advocates for the cause. PCOS CON will bring together medical professionals, companies, organizations, researchers, hundreds of individuals with PCOS and their supporters for two and half days to share insights, information, the latest updates about the condition and experiences.

To add to the event, there will be high-energy and captivating guest speakers, fun activities, exhibits, presentations, gifts, and guest celebrities on the agenda that will leave attendees feeling informed, relieved, empowered and entertained.
