Is PCOS only a reproductive issue?
No. PCOS affects metabolic health, skin, weight, mental well-being, and long-term risks like diabetes and heart disease.
Does every woman with PCOS have cysts?

Can I get pregnant if I have PCOS?
Yes! Many women with PCOS conceive with or without fertility treatment. Early diagnosis improves outcomes.
Can PCOS be cured?
There’s no cure, but symptoms can be well-managed with lifestyle changes and medical care.
Can diet help prevent GI bleeding?
Yes. A healthy diet, avoiding NSAIDs, limiting alcohol, and treating underlying GI conditions can reduce your risk of bleeding.

What are the signs of internal bleeding?
Black or tarry stools, vomiting blood, sudden fatigue, low blood pressure, or fainting are signs of significant internal bleeding and require urgent care.
