SOS Strategies: A New Treatment Approach.(for polycystic ovary syndrome)
2001 JUL 5 -- (NewsRx Network) -- An international conference of the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Association was held June 7-10, 2001. in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.
"The number of women with PCOS is staggering, now numbring in the millions." stated Ron Feinberg, MD, a reproductive endocrinologist and keynote speaker. "and it has been disheartening for me to realize how few of these women truly understand what PCOS is all about. Every day, such women are struggling with heartbreaking problems - infertility, miscarriage, obesity, and cosmetic nightmares unimaginable to most men. Most of these women suffer in silence, since they don't know where to turn for help."
Feinberg stressed that the incidence of PCOS has risen dramatically in parallel with epidemics problems originally coined Syndrome X by Dr. Gerald Reaven.
"There is a strong tendency to blame all of these problems on bad genes. But our genes have not changed very much over the last few thousand years. What has changed significantly is our environment, our food choices, and our predilection for a sedentary existence," stated Feinberg.
