Description:
Too many women and healthcare providers are in the dark about the serious health complications of PCOS. This two-minute video clip analyses the issue. Common symptoms of PCOS include irregular periods, acne, facial hair, loss of scalp hair and infertility. Says Dr. Rhoda Cobin of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, in an interview, “We are trying to increase the awareness of healthcare providers about not only the diagnosis of the syndrome but its link with these serious diseases. Understand that you have a metabolic condition that is going to put you at risk for diabetes, for heart disease for hypertension, for stroke.” It is imperative for physicians to acknowledge that their PCOS patients are at high risk for developing diabetes and heart disease. The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists advocates screening PCOS women by age 30 for diabetes.
