Cycle
Far from pleasant—this is how most women would describe their periods—even though menstruation is a completely normal, natural, and more or less regular process. However, menorrhagic menstruation is abnormally heavy bleeding often accompanied by severe cramps.

Did you ever imagine that one day you would have a personal health assistant on your phone? Artificial intelligence (AI) is all the rage right now, and we’re just scratching the surface of how machine learning, natural language processing, and other AI technologies can make our lives easier. Although we tend to associate AI with cutting-edge technologies, there are many ways we can benefit in our daily lives, including helping you navigate information about your menstrual cycles and reproductive health.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a group of symptoms, or “syndrome”, that affects the ovaries and ovulation. It is common in women of reproductive age. Women with PCOS produce higher-than-normal levels of androgens (male hormones). This hormone imbalance disturbs the menstrual cycle—infrequent or prolonged periods; and the ovaries may develop numerous follicles (small sacs of fluid that produce hormones and influence fertility) and fail to release eggs regularly, which makes it difficult to get pregnant. An accurate and early diagnosis makes it easier to get the proper treatment to manage symptoms.
