What are some things that help relieve the symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)?

 PCOS is a hormonal disturbance seen in upto 5-10% of women in reproductive age and hence is a common problem. A significant proportion of women with PCOS are overweight or obese which worsens the problem.

Understanding the nature of miscarriages, the symptoms and prevention and possible treatment, can help women to assess this situation more medically and objectively. According to the studies conducted at American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), 10-25% of all clinically recognized pregnancies will end in miscarriage.
