Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects almost 15% of the female population globally. It is the most common endocrine disorder among women of reproductive age. Through the condition polycystic ovaries develop, often leading to infertility, excessive hair growth, insulin resistance leading and many other symptoms.
As is tragically the case with so many women-specific medical needs, PCOS has received minimal attention in spite of its prevalence. Currently, no drug treatment has been specifically approved for this condition. However, FemTech solutions have grown to try and resolve the symptoms and management of the condition.
