According to the World Health Organization , PCOS affects an estimated eight to 13 percent of women of reproductive age, and up to 70 percent of the cases are undiagnosed. Making lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly, can help your body use insulin more effectively and regulate your hormone levels better. For those who are overweight or obese, losing weight can also help balance their hormone levels.Dr. Quinio encourages women who may be facing challenges when it comes to their reproductive health to see their doctor.
In a related development, Bayer Philippines Inc, recently launched “Bayer For Her: Conversations of Care” to encourage discussion and action around women’s reproductive health concerns.
