PCOS affects up to 15% of women and is usually diagnosed in the teen years. The hormonal imbalance can be tied to insulin resistance, high triglycerides, metabolic syndrome and an increase in the male hormone, androgen. You can bet Sarah King has a lot of questions about this one! Dr. Darlene Esper from WakeMed covers the causes, symptoms and treatments.
