Living with P.C.O.S.: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Angela Best-Boss, Evelina Weidman Sterling, Richard Legro MD (Editor)

Book Description: An estimated 10 million American women have PCOS-polycystic ovary syndrome. Most of these women have never heard of the hormonal disorder, but are often painfully aware of its symptoms: irregular menstrual cycles, excess facial and body hair, weight gain, and adult acne. PCOS is also the leading cause of infertility. If left untreated, the condition carries long-term risks for endometrial cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. This book sheds light on this under-reported, under-diagnosed endocrine disorder. Topics covered include: Causes of PCOS, Overcoming the symptoms, Choosing a physician, Getting a diagnosis, Receiving the best medical treatment, Infertility and getting pregnant, and Coping with the emotional impact of PCOS.

Rating: None Yet, July 2004

I have not read this book, but I have heard lots of good things about it. It is currently on my wish list. When I asked my newsletter members, forum members, and site visitors to recommend a book about PCOS, this is the title I heard the most. I will update this review when I get my hands on this book.
