Welcome to "The Private GP", a podcast that delves into the nitty-gritty of overlooked health issues. Our guest for this episode, Dr Enam Abood, will guide us through the intricacies of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a condition affecting 1 in 10 women worldwide. PCOS, often misunderstood as a disease, is a biological state that can significantly influence a woman's reproductive system.
Get ready for a clear visual understanding of the condition as Dr Abood offers the quintessentially British comparison of regular ovaries to a piece of smooth cheddar cheese and polycystic ovaries to Swiss cheese riddled with holes.
Our second podcast section sheds light on the implications of PCOS on fertility and its correlation with obesity. While the condition is associated with lower fertility rates, Dr Abood is keen to emphasise that many women with PCOS successfully conceive, highlighting the importance of professional guidance and treatment strategy.
Additionally, we will explore the connection between PCOS and obesity, countering the belief that weight challenges are solely due to poor lifestyle choices. Tune in to understand the unique difficulties posed by PCOS on weight management and the strategies available to overcome them.
The Private GP podcast is produced by Walk in Clinic in London, UK.
