DocTalk - Episode 7: Let’s talk about PCOS

The DocTalk series, where we discuss current events in the industry and what they might mean for you. From news articles, research studies, pop culture, and everything in between, we’re going to break it all down and sift through the noise with the help of our expert, Dr. Janet Choi, Progyny’s Chief Medical Officer.

Today we're tackling a condition that affects millions of women during their reproductive years—Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, or PCOS. September is PCOS Awareness month, and despite this being so common, many women are unaware they have it. To help us understand PCOS better, we'll explore what it is, symptoms, treatments, and why PCOS flies under the radar for so many women.

If you’re navigating PCOS, remember that you're not alone, and there are ways to get the support and care you need. For additional information and support, check out PCOS Challenge
