Medical - Medical (general) / Norwegian medical
Norwegian term or phrase: PCCS
Hei!

For the medics among you, is there a medical condition with this abbreviation (in either Norwegian or English), and are there any links with hirsutism? (I rather suspect this abbreviation should have been written as PCOS, but thought I'd enquire.)

Any help, as always, gratefully received!

Mvh
Alison.

PCCS can be changed to PCOS when making the glossary entry.

Asker: If PCCS is wrongly written anyway (as appears to be the case), then there's no point adding this to the glossary ..

Asker: I found this, too, while I was researching the term, but relieved you agree. Thanks, Liz!
