PCOS is a hormonal condition with reproductive, metabolic and psychological features. PCOS affects 8-13% of reproductive-aged women with up to 70% of affected women remaining undiagnosed.

Jean Hailes for Women's Health is a proud translation partner in the guideline, released in July 2018. It will be used to inform Jean Hailes programs and resources for women and health professionals.
