KMBC: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Awareness Month: Most Women With PCOS Are Undiagnosed

September is PCOS — polycystic ovarian syndrome — Awareness Month. It’s a hormonal disorder that impacts 10% of women of reproductive age, but according to the World Health Organization, nearly 70% of women with PCOS remain undiagnosed.

This September, Dr. Jillian Moore, a physician with Saint Luke’s Hospital OBGYN Clinic, sat down with KMBC to talk PCOS awareness, diagnosis, and the importance of physician support in a woman's treatment journey.

KMBC also talked with Dr. Sarah Pearl, an OB-GYN with Saint Luke’s East Women’s Health, to gain insights into the potential warning signs of the condition.
