- 20. Conclusion These 20 slides were just an attempt to show the importance of this health hazard in a woman and the serious consequences it may bring about when ignored or not treated. PCOS comes amongst the list of diseases that need to be hunted, not only treated! With AWARENESS we can easily fight this disease, which I think has already started now via this slideshow. So I hope in the days to come, everyone among us will circulate this information and hunt this disease down at the earliest. Because no matter who we are, we need a woman to maintain the CONTINUITY OF LIFE… may be as a mother, a sister or a wife. So, with a little modification of the famous message now-days let’s say…
