They have really bad, I see a lot of PMDD with my PCOS patients.

So you look at the big picture and I tend to not label them, but I will treat them.

And, you know, in 2014, I started using GLP-1s on my patients for weight loss, for PCOS.

2014, 11 years ago.

Equal.

90% of these patients, let me tell you, are never diagnosed.

A, a lot of gynecologists don't do a pelvic ultrasound, which I want to change that in this country.

It needs to be part of a well-woman exam.

They're not trained to do it or they have to hire an ultrasound tech to their office to do it.

But for me, in my office, if you come to my office and you say you can't do an ultrasound, it's just like me grabbing your glasses right now and say, read.

How can I diagnose you?

Pelvic ultrasound should be mandatory, but that's another topic I want to cover with what a well-woman exam should look like versus what women get when they go to their doctor's office.

So one of the issues is because women don't get a pelvic ultrasound, no one knows, one.

Two, a lot of doctors don't even know what a PCOS-looking ovary looks like.

They think polycystic ovary syndrome means cysts on the ovary.

You know, they want to change the name, but I personally am against it because I've spent 25 years saying PCOS, PCOS, PCOS, PCOS.

And I feel like just in the past few years, more and more people, you know, like people didn't talk about menopause.

Now everyone's talking about menopause.

I feel like PCOS is the next topic, hopefully.

And if you go and change the name,
