It cannot be permanently cured, and those who have PCOS may face difficulties with their fertility, but it can be managed and pregnancy is still possible.

All of this can be difficult to adjust to, and their self-esteem may suffer as a result. In this article a leading GP with expertise in mental health shares insight on how to get your teen feeling confident and good about themselves.
