PCOS is actaully quite old. The first recorded cases were in 1721. We were warned in college that the oversexualization of young girls was causing major probelms in society in particular in girl's health, but I still don't know how that could be health wise. Either way I think we've moved a great deal from the ideal when it comes to how we as a society treat women, men and prepubescent girls.

PCOS is a very OLD syndrome!
