Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
PCOS explained
PCOS is a hormonal imbalance that affects up to 1 in 10 women, leading to an overproduction of androgens (male hormones), as well as estrogen excess.
It’s characterized by unpleasant physical symptoms like:
- Hair loss (particularly around the middle part)
- Acne
- Hair growth
- Irregular or absent periods
- Unexplained weight gain
- Difficulty conceiving
It also has been linked to long-term health implications such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension - which is why the quicker you receive treatment, the better.

“I was given an explanation of how my hormonal imbalance was affecting me as a whole - body & mind - & tools so that we could start to manage my condition. I am happy to announce after a year of trying, I found out that I was pregnant & I couldn’t be happier!”
“This is genuinely the first time in my 7 years of being diagnosed, that I have felt seen and heard.”
“The Allara Community gives me the courage and support to continue my PCOS journey - I am never afraid to ask the hard questions and love hearing from other women with the same challenges.”
"Dr. Henigsman went above and beyond making sure I had all the necessary tests, but also tremendously helped me in understanding my diagnosis, helping me change my lifestyle, and making sure I get the treatment I deserve."
"Before Allara I had no real direction or understanding of what it meant to have PCOS. Now I have a team of people that take time to explain every single thing to me, ask me how I feel and let me be apart of my treatment plan and I’ve lost 55 pounds."
