Lovely thread

"I'm having a PCOS flare"
"My PCOS is getting worse"
"I need surgery to treat my PCOS"
"I have so much pain from PCOS"

There's so much misinformation about gynecology, especially with PCOS, it can be hard to separate truth from fiction. Lets start with, what is PCOS?

Why can iron be low?
How can you get more iron?

223 admissions to children’s hospitals in one week related to the flu.

Typically, this number would be between 8-10 children a week at this time of year.

Some random gynecologic trivia
