PCOS Resources


Hello!

I thought I would pop a few links to some other resources and sites. So much research is going in to PCOS now and new info is being published regularly, so it's hard to keep up with all the new stuff.

The Centre for Research Excellence in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is funded my the NHMRC.  They aim to improve health outcomes and have heaps of research in the pipeline at the moment, including improving fertility for women with PCOS, post baby weight retention, and the incidence of post natal depression in women with PCOS.

The Androgen Excess and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Society generates new information and aims to get the word out to medical professionals across the globe.  They don't just limit their research to PCOS, but also delve into other androgen excess conditions such as 

  • Adrenal Hyperplasia
  • Idiopathic Hirsutism
  • Premature Adrenarche

The Jean Hailes for Women's Health Centre has a downloadable pamphlet on navigating the intricacies of PCOS. This site is also really good at keeping up to date with all the new info out there.Obviously, this post doesn't list all the available sites out there dedicated to helping women with PCOS, but I hope it will help you get started.
Cheers for now
Annie
