Opis

Polycystic ovaries are common and a proportion of affected women develop polycystic ovary syndrome, which can have wide ranging effects on the body's metabolism. This book gives advice on aspects such as weight control, skin problems, contraception and ovulation induction, as well as on lifestyle changes to help avoid the associated increased risk of developing diabetes and atherosclerosis. This is a book for women with the condition, and for their primary care or family physicians. Professor Gabor Kovacs is Professor and Chair, Division of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Monash University at Box Hill Hospital, Australia.
