Let your girlfriend know that she needs to be her own advocate.. If she isn't happy with her gyn go get a new one.. My old gyn basically treated my pcos as a slight problem so I called around and found a gyn that was well aware of pcos (many gyns do not keep themselves up to date on the latest treatment options) you can also find some books on pcos at your bookstore I find that by having something to reference from time to time helps me alot.. When I was diagnosed with this "lovely little problem" I was 50 pounds overweight alot of the symptoms I had began to lessen when I put myself on a diabetic diet... within about 4 or 5 months my pms symptoms lessened and my tiredness and mood swings became less frequent.. the best benefit of all was that I went from a size 16 to a 7 in a little over 12 months I still maintain a diabetic diet and I have kept the weight off for 3 years.. I am sure that with a caring partner like you she too can fight this.. |
