The Project PCOS Online Silent Auction for PCOS Awareness and Advancement aims to help raise some much-needed funds and awareness to allow Project PCOS to give women and girls with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) the tools and information they need to live healthier lives with the syndrome.

 Beginning on September 15 and lasting until September 23, 2007 this event will not only support this important cause, but will be a great way to show women with PCOS worldwide, they are supported.

Up to 15% of women and girls of reproductive age, worldwide live with PCOS.  However, it is estimated less than half know what it is or that they have it.  Often unrecognized PCOS(Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) can cause many physical and emotional manifestations. While many of these symptoms may not be evident to a friend or family member, women go through years of silent suffering with a myriad of daily battles.

 What PCOS is, and what it does to women who have it, is complicated to explain as symptoms and severity of the syndrome can vary from person to person. Some of the classic symptoms are drastic weight gain, hair loss, depression, fatigue, thyroid problems, high cholesterol, panic attacks, headaches, dizzy spells, poor memory or muddled mind, sleeping disorders, constant thirst, extreme cravings, insulin resistance, cystic acne, cystic ovaries, menstrual cycles without ovulation, irregular cycles, severe mood swings, high testosterone levels, infertility problems, excess facial and body hair, not to mention a seven times greater risk than an average woman for four major health concerns affecting women in the United States today including heart disease, diabetes, endometrial cancer and stroke.

Additionally, many women with PCOS are left feeling alone and frustrated as the lack of information and standards for diagnosis and treatment are not conclusive, leading to a lack of public knowledge of this syndrome.

Launched on February 1, 2007, Project PCOS set out as its goal to bring greater awareness to this sometimes misunderstood ailment by promoting it to the public, medical professionals, and even health and government leaders that need to recognize this syndrome as a legitimate health concern. 

Project PCOS is an organization that exists to provide comprehensive information, support, and advocacy for women and girls with the condition known as polycystic ovary syndrome.  Our goal is to provide up-to-date educational resources, accessible to women and girls with PCOS, along with their families and supporters.  This includes basic information about the nature of PCOS as well as its treatment options.

If you would like detailed information on our organization, please feel free to visit our website www.projectpcos.org or contact our organization at information@projectpcos.org
