ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
A comprehensive guide to polycystic ovary syndrome, from a leading authority on the condition
One in ten American women of childbearing age is affected by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to some degree, and many suffer from serious symptoms, such as infertility, early miscarriage, chronic pelvic pain, weight gain, high blood pressure, acne, and abnormal hair growth. PCOS is by far the most common hormone imbalance in women of this age group, yet few women understand the threat it poses to their health—or how to prevent it.
In A Patient’s Guide to PCOS, Dr. Walter Futterweit, a foremost authority on PCOS in America, tells women everything they need to know about this condition and how to treat it. Drawing on his twenty-five years researching and treating the condition and his ongoing long-term study of more than a thousand women with PCOS, Futterweit discusses
• what PCOS is and how it affects your body
• what to eat and how to exercise to control PCOS
• all the treatment options, including the latest drug therapies
• how to reverse PCOS-induced infertility and restore
healthy skin and hair
• resources for preventing, diagnosing, and treating PCOS
This comprehensive guide contains everything women need to know about PCOS—from identifying warning signs and seeking a diagnosis to finding emotional support in recovery—to regain their health and resume their lives.

"This was a very helpful book - my healthcare provider even asked to borrow it!"

"Thank God there is more material on this syndrome affecting at least 1 in every 100 women. The diet plan though was a bit "impossible." I hope this book and others like it will inform America that these women (my daughter) need more than just a "diabetic diet" and "diabetic exercise program" as the book clearly indicates in its recommendations. We are members at C_____s, and its circuit program wasn't enough cardio for PCOS affected women. They hadn't heard of it at our local center. So I let them know about it there and on their site. Still they say the 30 minute circuit works for most women-why not all women. PCOS women need a minimum of 45 minutes of cardio in addition to any resistance exercises available in circuit exercises. I hope this review will emphasize the value of the book but also enlighten others. Thanks for this book. "

"I've known I've had PCOS for 4 years and discovered after reading this that my doctor is completely clueless. Thanks to this book, I'm seeing a different doctor, changed my lifestyle, and am now on the path to living a longer, healther life!!"

"I've read most anything I can get my hands on about PCOS for the last 5-6 years. While this was an informative book, it wasn't anything new to me. If you're newly diagnosed and looking for some information, this is probably a good book for you. But if you are already fairly knowledgable about PCOS, I'd skip it."
