Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Awareness Month

September is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Awareness Month. PCOS is a serious genetic, hormone, metabolic and reproductive disorder that affects women and girls. It is the leading cause of female infertility and a precursor for other serious conditions including obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and endometrial cancer. In honor of PCOS Awareness Month, MMC Obstetrician and Gynecologist Kelly G. Williams, M.D. gives more information about PCOS, and encourages women with PCOS that there is hope. If you have any questions or if you would like to schedule an appointment, call MMC Obstetrics & Gynecology at 615-867-8030 or visit www.mmclinic.com/OBGYN today.
