Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition that affects how a woman's ovaries function. The exact cause of PCOS is unknown, but it is related to abnormal hormone levels in the body, including high levels of insulin. There is no cure for PCOS but it can be controlled with medication and lifestyle management.
This book provides a comprehensive review of PCOS, covering a broad spectrum of topics, from prevalence and diagnosis, to screening and mental health, to various management techniques. The authors provide expert insights on diet, exercise, pharmacotherapy, associated fertility issues, and advanced interventions such as bariatric surgery and sleep management.
