William Schlaff from Thomas Jefferson University: Developing a New Understanding of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) may not be a new condition for doctors to treat but there is constant work being done to find new treatment methods. For many patients the best course of treatment may be weight loss.

William D. Schlaff, MD, from Thomas Jefferson University noted that one of the most common issues associated with PCOS is infertility which can take both a physical and psychological toll on patients. Because of this Schlaff said proper treatment is important to help patients achieve their goals later in life.
