Book Reviews of Living with PCOS: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Book Review: Very informative
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book and found it be very informative. It's written in plain english with no big complicated words, therefore easy for any person to read. Through study, I have found that there are many women out there who suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome and they don't know alot about the disorder , which causes irregular menstrual cycles, excess facial and body hair, weight gain, and adult acne. It's also a leading cause of infertility and if left untreated, the condition carries long term risk for endometrial cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. This book sheds light on the condition, it explains it well, talks about over-coming symptoms, choosing a doctor, getting diagnosed and coping with the emotional impact. I think the book is very informative and I highly recommend it to all women, if you don;t suffer from polcystic ovary syndrome, chances are you might know someone who does.
Summary of Living with PCOS: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Are You Seeking Relief from PCOS Symptoms?
If so, you join the estimated 10 million American women who have PCOS?polycystic ovary syndrome. If you?re like most of these women, you may not know a lot about the hormone disorder, but you?re probably painfully aware of its symptoms: irregular menstrual cycles, excess facial and body hair, weight gain, and adult acne. PCOS is also a leading cause of infertility. If left untreated, the condition carries long-term risks for endometrial cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. However, with proper treatment, the syndrome can be managed.
Living with PCOS sheds light on this underreported, underdiagnosed endocrine disorder and leads women to treatment that can rid them of troublesome symptoms. The authors, both of whom have PCOS, along with a nationally-recognized physician, cover such topics as:
? Causes of PCOS

? Choosing a physician
? Getting a diagnosis
