Six to ten per cent of women of child-bearing age are affected by polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal imbalance that can lead to infertility or reduced chance of achieving pregnancy, and yet it is one of the most frequently misdiagnosed diseases. PCOS is not curable but it is treatable, and the symptoms, which include hirsutism, irregular periods, obesity and polycystic ovaries, can be greatly reduced through effective lifestyle management. Describing causes and symptoms, the authors give a clear, concise diet and lifestyle plan (including 30 recipes) that will enable sufferers to lose weight, boost fertility and reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
