Berkshire PCOS Support group

The Berkshire PCOS Support group is for women living in and around Reading whose lives are affected by Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).

Our group aims to support women like you who suffer from PCOS by bringing clarity to PCOS related topics and to keep you ‘in the know’ whilst having some fun!

The term polycystic ovaries describes ovaries that contain many small cysts (about twice as many as in normal ovaries), usually no bigger than 8 millimetres each, located just below the surface of the ovaries. These cysts are egg-containing follicles that have not developed properly due to a number of hormonal abnormalities.

Polycystic ovaries (PCO) are very common, affecting around 20 per cent of women. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is also very common, affecting 5–10 per cent of women.
