Default What to Do when the Doctor Says it's PCOS

[coverattach=1]What to Do when the Doctor Says it's PCOS
by Milton Hammerly, Cheryl Kimball, Cheryl Kimball, Christine DeZarn

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is the number one cause of irregular periods and infertility in women - yet most gynecologists fail to diagnose it. The disorder causes irregular cycles, infertility, weight gain, acne, and unsightly hair growth -- symptoms that can ultimately prove life-threatening as well as uncomfortable, humiliating, and emotionally disruptive.

Only recently have women realized the danger lurking in what they thought were stress-induced problems. While researchers haven't determined the cause of PCOS, they know it is linked to insulin resistance, which can be controlled fairly easily with a low-carb diet.

Most PCOS cases are diagnosed by reproductive endocrinologists when a woman's infertility has led her to seek a specialist. WHAT TO DO WHEN THE DOCTOR SAYS IT'S PCOS gives sufferers a diet and nutritional treatment program that goes beyond the usual regimen of birth control pills and fertility drugs. The millions of women victimized by this debilitating and demoralizing disorder will undoubtedly welcome this new program as an alternative or as a supplement to their current treatment plan.

It was the first PCOS book I've read and honestly didn't like it. It wasn't detailed enough to me. I found the 'New Glucose Revolution for PCOS' to be much more informative.

All of these books listed here should be checked for date of publication! I was originally Dx'd over 10 years ago and recently started TTC. I told the doctor I had books on it I got in '98 and she laughed and said to throw them away!! I didn't even think about it, but the info in there is outdated! Many publishers have 2nd or 3rd editions that you should check.

Disclaimer! MUCH of the info is still good -- but, when it comes to drug recommendations, etc., there is a lot of research that has happened since the date of publication (which is typically months or years after the tests anyway!). Just my opinion!
