À propos de ce contenu audio
Most health care providers who take care of women are familiar with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and have seen patients with this disorder. The diagnosis seems pretty straightforward with irregular menses, signs of excess androgens, and polycystic ovaries on ultrasound. Of course, we must exclude other etiologies of the symptoms to make a PCOS diagnosis.
This is where many are erring. They have made the wrong diagnosis. Now the treatment may be the same and often we are successful with the symptoms, but we are doing our patients a great disservice by giving many of them the wrong diagnoses.
These patients are not going to die of facial hair, irregular menses, or infertility. But they will have many problems if they end up with type-2 diabetes, which many will. Wrong diagnosis has greatly diminished our chance of changing their lives.
Let me give you my argument on why we must change the diagnosis. We are successfully treating the cough, but we have ignored the lung cancer.
