Product Description
Product Description
One in ten women of childbearing age is affected by Polcystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) to some degree, and many suffer from serious symptoms, such as infertility, early miscarriage, chronic pelvic pain, weight gain, high blood pressure, and migraines. PCOS is by far the most common hormone imbalance in women of this age group, yet few women understand the threat it poses to their health - or how to prevent it. In "A Patient's Guide to PCOS", Dr. Walter Futterweit, the foremost authority on PCOS in America, tells women everything they need to know about this condition and how to treat it. Drawing on his twenty-five years researching and treating the condition and his ongoing long-term study of more than a thousand women with PCOS, Futterweit discusses: what PCOS is and how it affects your body; what to eat and how to exercise to control PCOS; all the treatment options, including the latest drug therapies; how to reverse PCOS-induced infertility and restore healthy skin and hair; and resources for preventing, diagnosing, and treating PCOS.

When I got diagnosed with PCOS I read everything possible I could find online. Than I purchased four different books about PCOS and this was my least favourite. By the time I was reading this book I already knew the basics so the tone of the book where there are talking to you like you were a kid is bit off putting. Book has been long given to a charity shop and I keep my favourite book by Collette Harris as my PCOS bible and keep returning to it time after time to keep me motivated with the lifestyle changes and advice.
This book probably covers all the topics so if you do not mind teacher/pupil approach it might be ok for you. Otherwise buy a different one!

I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2006 and this was the first book I bought when trying to learn more about my condition. I had wondered for several years if I had PCOS but always thought that I mustn't, as everytime I read about it, it said that you would be overweight. I'm not, by any means. So it was a surprise to be diagnosed with it. This book is useful in parts, but it really does focus on losing weight, and how that will benefit you and the condition. But what about if you don't need to lose weight? I have managed to find better books for my situation. The one good thing I got from this book was how you can still be diagnosed with PCOS during / after the menopause and how the condition can still affect you at this point in your life. It described by mum's symptoms to a T and so she has found the book helpful.

This is the most comprehensive guide I have found. It provides all the information you need, and the author takes a positive, helpful approach which left me feeling like it was all in my hands and up to me to change things. Cannot recommend it enough.
