What if Sherlock Holmes were on the case of a mysterious, yet common medical condition? In this episode of Science for Care, host Anca Petre takes us on a detective’s journey to crack the case of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)—a complex condition affecting 1 in 10 women, yet often remaining undiagnosed. PCOS is responsible for a wide range of symptoms, from irregular periods to infertility, and it can take years to uncover the full scope of its impact.

With special guest Caroline, founder of Asso SOPK, a patient advocacy group, we explore her personal story of living with PCOS and the struggles many face to get a proper diagnosis. Caroline sheds light on the challenges, misdiagnoses, and eventual discovery of her condition, while advocating for better awareness and treatment.

Dive into the origins of PCOS, from its first identification in the 1930s to the latest scientific breakthroughs. Learn about exciting new research revealing that PCOS may be linked to hormonal imbalances in the brain, offering new hope for more effective treatments beyond symptom management. This episode uncovers the complexities of PCOS, the frustration of delayed diagnoses, and the potential for new discoveries that could transform care for millions of women.
