What every woman and her doctor should know about PCOS, 'The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome - a starting point, not a diagnosis' is written by Dr. Warren Kidson & Dr. James Mackenzie Talbot and is a must read for all women with PCOS.
The information could change your life; you never know, it may save it! PCOS is the leading cause of female infertility; it also puts women at greatest risk for diabetes and heart disease.
Dr Warren Kidson is a visiting Endocrinologist at the Prince of Wales and Sydney Children’s Hospitals. Dr James Mackenzie Talbot is a Gynaecologist at Monash IVF and the Melbourne Assisted Conception Centre.
Both doctors have years of experience treating PCOS patients and they’ve written the guide to help women better manage the syndrome and improve their well-being.
The guide explains what PCOS is, what causes it, the different treatments available and the recommended tiered approach women should take when dealing with fertility issues. It also underlines the need for patients to make lifestyle changes to avoid the serious complications of diabetes and heart disease.
This is an excellent resource for both PCOS patients and doctors. POSAA recommends you read it, print it off and next time you see your doctor, share it with them.
