Addressing PCOS requires a societal approach that includes better awareness, accessible healthcare, and resources for women to manage their symptoms and reduce long-term risks. Improving education, research, and healthcare support for PCOS can positively impact individuals and society as a whole.
Here are different points highlighting why PCOS is a significant problem in our society:
Widespread Prevalence:
PCOS is one of the most common endocrine disorders in women, affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age globally, yet it remains widely underdiagnosed.
Reproductive Health Impact:
PCOS is a leading cause of infertility, which can be emotionally and financially challenging for women and families, often requiring costly fertility treatments and ongoing medical care.
Increased Risk of Chronic Diseases:
Women with PCOS are more likely to develop long-term health issues, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and endometrial cancer, increasing the burden on healthcare systems.
Mental Health Burden:
PCOS symptoms like weight gain, acne, and excess hair growth can contribute to body image issues, anxiety, and depression, increasing the demand for mental health services.
Challenges for Younger Women:
PCOS symptoms often begin during puberty, impacting teenagers and young adults’ confidence, social interactions, and even academic performance, highlighting the need for early support and education.
