Dr Geoff Braadvedt @ Auckland Hospital is a great endocrinology specialist (if you can actually get time with him!). After one appt he unofficially diagnosed me with PCOS and has sent me off for an ultrasound.
The only problem to do with Geoff is Auckland's health sys in general. He is continually swamped with patients and their communication with patients is meagre.
I suspect he favors medical solutions too which leads me to my first question... anyone know any NZ specialists knowledgeable in alternative treatments? (For any PCOS symptoms i.e. increase progesterone, reverse [head] hair loss, reduce excess hair etc).
Second question... does your local GP have to see evidence of PCOS (i.e. ultrasound data) to prescribe progesterone cream?
Thanks for any help.
P.S. Tusi2 I think I'll have to try Stella
