I stay in a town population 10,000 and I wanted to know how many women or young ladies with PCOS stay in small towns and how do you go by getting treatment or educated.

I really dont think that the size of the town makes much difference when concerning knowledge of PCOS. I think that if there were a celebrity that would come out and admit to having PCOS that would raise interest in the subject. Or, another idea would be if Opra did a show on the subject and how if effects so many people in the world. Really I dont think that there is a lot that we can do.
