BATON ROUGE, La (NBC33) — Woman's Hospital in Baton Rouge is launching a new study to find an effective treatment for a common reproductive problem in women, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, or PCOS

It's the first study to look at how weight plays a role in treatment. Researchers say that could be the key to finding effective drugs to fight the disease.

On NBC33 News at 5pm, hear one mother's story about why she's signing up for the study and how PCOS has affected her life.
