Helen CarrHOST
And then what would you tell her regarding her worries about fertility in relation to having PCOS? Is that a common problem for women? Are there any things that make it more likely to be a challenge for certain people with certain PCOS phenotypes? What would be your approach to that?

Devashna GuptaGUEST
Yeah, so PCOS, once again, I'd reassure her that it is common, sort of probably one of the most common causes of irregular cycles and ovulatory causes of infertility.

Devashna GuptaGUEST
We always talk about weight management as one of the crucial first steps in managing this.

Devashna GuptaGUEST
And they say even a 5% body weight reduction might find resumption of normal cycles.

Devashna GuptaGUEST
And what you need to manage is the phenomena or the stigma associated with that.

Helen CarrHOST
Do you have any suggestions or things that we could be doing differently in primary care to help reduce these inequities?
