Manage episode 504224156 series 2615007
As part of Women's Health Week we're bringing back our episode on Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and the difficulty of getting a diagnosis.
Weight gain, bristly hairs, no period. Welcome to Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome.
PCOS is one of the leading causes of infertility worldwide and it can cause debilitating physical and psychological symptoms.
1 in 8 women have PCOS, so that’s at least a couple of friends in your group chat. So why do we still know so little about it?
Yumi Stynes catches up with ladies who’ve been battling PCOS for years and finds out how they get on top of it.
Featured in this episode:
- Professor Helena Teede, female endocrine specialist from Monash University
This episode will answer questions such as:
- What is PCOS?
- Why does PCOS cause weight pain?
- What is the link between PCOS and infertility?
- How is PCOS diagnosed?
What to listen to next:
Has Ozempic killed body positivity?
Calling out wellness bullsh*t with Dr Jen Gunter
Perimenopause: but aren't I too young?
You can binge more episodes of Ladies, We Need to Talk on the ABC listen app (in Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.
This episode contains references to PCOS, weight gain, excess hair, medical misogyny and infertility.
