Riassunto:

If you are one of the millions of women who have been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and are seeking answers to help you live a happier, healthier life then this book is for you! This book is also a great place to start if you think you have PCOS and are looking for answers. PCOS is the most common endocrine disorder among women of reproductive age, affecting approximately 1 in 10 women. Comprehensively treating PCOS will improve the physical and emotional symptoms commonly seen with PCOS. Symptoms such as acne, dark hair growth, hair loss, infertility, irregular cycles, fatigue, anxiety, depression, increased appetite, sugar cravings, and weight gain. The symptoms will vary from person to person as will the treatment and should start by addressing the symptoms most bothersome to the individual. PCOS is treated by using a combination of medication, diet, and exercise. Treatment is designed to help with weight loss, decrease insulin levels, balance hormones, improve fertility, regulate cycles, and decrease the risk of long-term health complications (such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease). Nutritional and psychological counseling can also be very beneficial. It's important to treat the entire syndrome and not stop with treating just one symptom. I hope this book will educate and inspire you and help you to understand that proactively treating PCOS will help you feel better now and in the future.

Informazioni sull?autore: Lisa Borunda Conner's passion for treating women with PCOS was born as she realized that she, along with the rest of the medical community, could be doing so much more to improve the quality of life for women affected by PCOS. She was excited to respond to the call to action from the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists to "no longer regard PCOS as a cluster of annoying cosmetic complaints, or a condition primarily associated with infertility, but as a condition that may be linked to metabolic disorders associated with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular events." She understands there is a crying need to educate both the medical community and women with PCOS about the condition. She is passionate about treating PCOS as early and proactively as possible to help prevent long-term health complications. Lisa received her Family Nurse Practitioner degree from the University of Utah in 2001. She started working in a private practice OB/GYN practice upon graduating. This is the second book she has authored on the subject of PCOS.
