PMOS is a major cause of female infertility. Symptoms can include irregular periods, excessive hair growth and weight gain.

Despite between three and four million women having the condition in the UK, PMOS is still under-diagnosed and inconsistently managed, says NICE, the watchdog that decides which NHS treatments provide value for money.
