24. Maybe I have PCOS?

29 min • 19 februari 2020

PCOS or polycystic ovarian syndrome is not simply a disease of the ovaries. The ovaries are one part of this complex hormonal syndrome which CAN include symptoms such as excess body hair, increased weight, acne and insulin resistance. Or just to trick us, no obvious symptoms until you start to trying to get pregnant.

The focus then becomes the ovaries. This is because for some women with PCOS they are anovulatory meaning they don’t ovulate BUT this doesn’t mean PCOS = infertility, it just means you may need some help putting the extra ingredient in to your baby making mix.

In this episode we cover:

What is PCOS
What are likely symptoms
Is it painful?
How it gets diagnosed
What are some of the treatments available
What healthcare professionals you may need
What happens if you are not ovulating
What is lean PCOS

Why did we start this podcast? Well we think there is a barrier for women to get EXPERT pregnancy info that is practical, relatable and easy to understand.

Dr Pat has helped 1000s of women have their babies and through this we know that this kind of information given to a woman at the right time can totally change her experience of pregnancy and birth.

We invite you to do our free pregnancy quiz at www.growmybaby.com.au

We also talk about www.jeanhailes.org.au on this podcast. An excellent resource.

And thank you for listening to ‘The Kick’. Could we ask a big favour? If you love it would you please leave us a review and share with a friend?
