Episode Description
PCOS affects somewhere between 8-13% of women of reproductive age, and yet the average woman sees three or more providers before she gets a diagnosis. PCOS symptoms often get treated with isolation. Stubborn acne that won’t go away? See a dermatologist. Can’t lose weight? See a nutritionist. No one steps back to look at the whole picture.
Dr. Lucky Sekhon and Dr. Alicia Robbins are excited this week to share all their knowledge about PCOS – what it IS and what it is NOT. The range of symptoms women with PCOS can experience is extensive and we do a deep dive into what these symptoms can include as well as a discussion on atypical PCOS. PCOS is a metabolic and hormonal condition that goes so much deeper than fertility or wanting to get pregnant. In this episode, you’ll learn how physicians diagnose PCOS with the current guidelines, the risks when it comes to fertility, and how PCOS actually affects the body. Stay tuned for part 2 next week!
