Once upon a time, in a world where hormones and bodily functions harmoniously coexisted, there lived a mysterious and elusive character named Lady Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, or Lady PCOS for short. Although she was always present, lurking in the ovaries of millions of unsuspecting women, her identity was often shrouded in darkness and confusion.
Her appearance was a subject of great debate, but one thing was certain - she was a master of disguise.
