Well I'm only quoting what I've seen....check it out for yourself...Dr. Rina Agrawal, deputy medical director at the London Women's Clinic is the woman who conducted this study in the early 2000's. As I'm reading more about it online (now that you're questioning it, before I was merely reciting it from memory), the verbage is slightly confusing. So I included it below for all to read:
"The researchers found that the prevalence of PCO was 32% in heterosexual women and 80% in lesbian women, and that the prevalence of PCOS was 14% in heterosexual women and 38% in lesbian women. The average prevalence amongst all 618 women (lesbian and heterosexual) was 52% for PCO and 24% for PCOS. This compares with European data that show that the prevalence of PCO in the general population is 22% and 10-15% for PCOS, while 40% of all women who seek fertility treatment have PCO/PCOS. " |
