PCOS and Endometriosis are both chronic disorders that affect women of reproductive age. Although they share some overlapping symptoms (such as irregular periods, heavy bleeding, and difficulty getting pregnant) these two conditions affect the reproductive system differently.

PCOS is a metabolic disorder that affects a female’s hormone levels. When the ovaries and adrenal glands produce too much androgen, or “male hormones,” it can interfere with ovulation and cause symptoms such as ovarian cysts, excess body and facial hair, severe acne, male-pattern baldness and extreme weight gain. Insulin resistance or diabetes is also very common in women diagnosed with PCOS.

Endometriosis is a disorder where tissue that resembles the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterine cavity, such as on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or the tissues lining the pelvis. Each month during the menstrual cycle, the uterus sheds the endometrial tissue. When endometrial growths outside of the uterus shed internally, it can cause pain, inflammation, scarring and/or adhesions. The most common symptoms are heavy bleeding and painful periods, abdominal or pelvic pain, frequent urination, constipation, painful bowel movements and pain during in*******se.

Although neither condition is curable, both are treatable and can be managed through lifestyle changes, medications, and surgery. Remember that heavy, painful, irregular or absent periods and chronic pelvic pain are not normal. If you experience any of these symptoms, please let your healthcare provider know.

Did you know that we freeze and store eggs, embryos and s***m at a chilly -196° Celsius? (That’s -385° degrees Fahrenheit, which is roughly 257° colder than the lowest temperature ever recorded in Antarctica 🥶)

Cryopreservation is a technique most commonly used to help preserve fertility, although it can also be used by people undergoing cancer treatment, hormone therapy, or before gender transition.
