So it should be under a team, an endocrinologist, as well as a gynae, as well as a GP, as well as regular follow-up, not just something that is kind of pushed under the carpet.
One in eight women have it in some form or another, which is a lot.
So it's better to have a better understanding of something that is so complicated that can make people's, women's lives harder.
Yeah, and it was kind of like test them once and you're done, whereas now you kind of test
maybe girls come in late teens and their periods aren't regular and you say maybe they have a bit of PCOS and maybe they don't and then we check them again at 25 because it mightn't be that regular.
But it's also the other pieces, the spots, are they always just trying to get ahead of their spots?
Are they off form?
There's also now different subtypes recognised of it.
So it's not just polycystic ovaries.

And also the fact that you can try and get ahead of it.
And I suppose it's to know that hay fever season is coming soon.
get your daily antihistamines in, use your saline nasal washes and physical barriers for hay fever are so important.
But they think it's partly because of climate change that we're having so much hay fever that we have longer, hotter summers, more pollen.
They think there's an increase in carbon dioxide in the air from the whole industrialised nation and that, and that's making plants make more pollen.
And also we have cleaner children where we wash our children, don't let them run around in
in muck and grass when they're small.
