Uncover Your Eyes with Dr. Meenal Episode #19: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) with Dr. Anne Hussain
We need to normalize educating and talking about Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). It’s widespread and the most common cause of infertility. It affects a woman’s entire life and predisposes women to insulin resistance, obesity, and cardiovascular problems. Eventually, the stress of dealing with physical and hormonal changes can lead to mental health issues. But, why don’t all healthcare providers talk about it? Our guest, Dr. Anne Hussain, is a naturopathic doctor and author of The Period Literacy Handbook. Hear what PCOS is, the symptoms, how you get it, how it’s diagnosed, what you can control, and the best ways to track your periods. This episode covers everything from PCOS to periods. Here’s a small sample of what you will hear in this episode:
- What is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)?
- How is PCOS diagnosed?
- Should you track your periods?
- What are the best apps for tracking your periods?
- How does Metformin impact PCOS?
- What causes PCOS?
- How far along is PCOS typically detected?
