In this episode, Dr. Lorne Brown discusses polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) with Sandro Graca, a lecturer and researcher in reproductive health. PCOS is a metabolic disorder that affects women's reproductive health, characterized by hormonal imbalance, long or absent menstrual cycles, and the presence of cysts or multifollicular structures in the ovaries. Sandro clarifies that although cysts can be present, the diagnosis of PCOS is based on other criteria such as clinical symptoms and hormonal imbalance. Diagnosis usually involves a physical exam and blood tests.
The conversation also explores the emotional and psychological aspects of PCOS. Treatment typically involves lifestyle changes, medications, supplements, and acupuncture, tailored to individual needs. This episode provides a comprehensive overview of PCOS, offering valuable insights and making it a valuable resource for those seeking to learn more about the condition.
