PCOS or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is one of the common diseases to women. It is the number one endocrine disorder that affects 5 out of 10 women in the US.

Women with PCOS are having an imbalance with their hormones causing them irregular periods and pregnancy problems. The cause of PCOS is said to be mostly genetics, but if left untreated may cause more serious problems like diabetes and heart disease.

Adrenal Fatigue on the other hand as explained by Todd Nippoldt, MD of the Mayo Clinic, "...is a term applied to a collection of nonspecific symptoms, such as body aches, fatigue, nervousness, sleep disturbances and digestive problems." Adrenal fatigue as believed by its proponents is a mild form of Addison's disease, where the adrenal glands produce insufficient hormones than its normal count.

The common symptoms of adrenal fatigue are: anxiety, dizziness, insomnia, frequent urination, dry skin, low sex drive, weight gain, among others.
