Picture your ovaries as little kitchens that make eggs and hormones to keep your body running smoothly\u2014like clockwork for your monthly period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>With PCOS, that kitchen gets a bit out of order. It starts making too much of a hormone usually found more in men, called testosterone, and instead of sending out an egg each month, it holds onto lots of tiny sacs called follicles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This can mess up your periods, make extra hair pop up where you don\u2019t want it, or even make it harder to keep weight off.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>PCOS affects about 1 in 10 women, so it\u2019s not rare at all.
