A condition known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterised by hormonal imbalances, irregular periods, and/or the development of small cysts on the ovaries.
Up to 7% of adult women are affected by this condition.
Women with PCOS have difficulty losing weight due to hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, and inflammation associated with the condition.
Even a small weight loss of approximately 5% can improve insulin resistance, hormone levels, menstrual cycles, fertility, and overall quality of life in women with PCOS.
