PCOS Awareness Symposium 2015 - Los Angeles, presented by PCOS Challenge, Inc. and UCLA Health, features world leading experts on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. PCOS is a complex genetic, hormonal, metabolic and reproductive disorder that affects 10% of women of reproductive age. It is a leading cause of female infertility and has devastating effects on women's and girls' self esteem and social development due to symptoms including excess facial hair growth, acne, hair loss, depression and obesity. Women with PCOS constitute the largest group of women at risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. The National Institutes of Health estimates that 50% of women with PCOS will become diabetic or pre-diabetic by age 40. Some studies have also shown women with PCOS to be at higher risk for suicide as well as endometrial, ovarian and breast cancer.

The PCOS symposium will bring together clinicians, researchers, hundreds of women with PCOS and their supporters for a day of sharing experiences, insights and the latest updates about Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

Some of the topics covered include:
- PCOS Awareness and Advocacy
- Creating a PCOS Treatment Plan
