If your life is affected by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), you may be interested to know that Verity, the support network for women with PCOS, is organising a conference on the subject in the Autumn.
Held in Manchester on Saturday 11 October, the conference will include sessions on how acupuncture can help and on acne and PCOS as well as a talk from one of the country's leading fertility experts, Professor Bill Ledger of Sheffield University.
You can find out more about the conference, and book yourself a place, by visiting the network's website at www.verity-pcos.org.uk
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common cause of female fertility problems. Many women have lots of small cysts just below the surface of the ovaries, which are actually follicles that haven't developed properly. Generally the cycsts aren't accompanied by any other problems, but if you have PCOS, you will usually have irregular, infrequent or absent periods. The syndrome is sometimes associated with weight problems too, and other signs that can accompany it are unwanted facial or body hair and skin problems such as oily skin or acne.
