Polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOS is a condition where the ovaries start to produce an abnormal amount of Androgen, leading to small cyst formation in the ovaries. Some of the symptoms of PCOS are menstrual irregularity, excess hair growth, acne and obesity. Inflammation is a sign of PCOS. "Ever blame mid-week blues for your migraines, fatigue, or even bad immune system…without realizing that it could be inflammation? Has your inflammation kept you from peace and focus as well?
