hi i was just wondering if there are any people on here from germany...
i am in america right now but i am moving back to my homecountry germany in 4 month and i don´t even know what PCOS is in germany... i don´t know if they actually have a name for that... and i thought it would be really awesome to meet a few people that life in germany with PCOS ...
Sorry, I'm not from Germany but from The Netherlands, the next best thing ;) Here we call pcos also pcos, but it stands for 'polycysteus ovarium syndroom'. Doctors in NL know about the syndrome (though perhaps not as much as in the US, until they do a little pubmed research) so I'm pretty sure they also do in your heimat :)

It's still called PCOS (unfortunately)...
FORTUNATELY, there's been quite a bit of pcos research coming out of germany in the past few weeks. Below I've posted the hospital and research facility information from the ones who've recently published research. They might be able to direct you to support groups in your region.

Ich bin aus Deutschland. Habe auch in den USA für 11 Jahre gewohnt. They call it PCO or PCO-Syndrom as well. When you are back here have yourself checked by an endocrinologist...and only have the ultrasound of the ovaries done by a gynecologist! You'll need a referal (überweisung) from your general practitioner.
Make sure that you get copies of all your labs done (hormone levels etc) from your US physicians.
Where in Germany are you moving to?
P.S. My experience with university clinics here are not positive. Don't be discouraged if you don't find the "best" endocrinologist or even GP immediately in Germany.
I have had hormone troubles for the past 2 years and JUST NOW found an okay doctor that took me serious. I don't really like German docs.....just a bit on the arrogant side when you ask too many questions.... pffft. ;)
Germany anyone????
