Women in UK with polycystic ovarian syndrome facing widespread failures in treatment, report finds

The report by a parliamentary group highlights the widespread failures in the treatment of women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) in the UK. The key findings include: 1. Prolonged delays in diagnosis: More than a third of women with PCOS had to wait longer than four years to receive a diagnosis. 2. Limited access to treatment: After diagnosis, almost two-fifths (38%) of respondents were not provided with any resources or information about managing the condition. 3. Lack of support: The report indicates that women with PCOS face significant challenges in accessing appropriate care and resources, which can have a significant impact on their overall health and well-being. The report suggests that there is a need for more awareness, improved diagnostic processes, and better access to treatment and support services for women with PCOS in the UK.
