This is a condition in which many follicles are produced and cause accumulation of fluid in the abdomen and sometimes in the chest. The abdominal fluid causes bloating. The fluid in the chest causes breathlessness. This condition is usually temporary.

Also, the Nutritional and Exercise Guidelines show you ways to change your lifestyle so that you permanently change your body's response to insulin. This will help you reverse PCOS.

The frequency is unknown but it appears to be a common cause of sudden and unexplained death in children and young adults. It is certainly much more common than previously thought. It may be as frequent as 1 in 5000 to 7000. This means, one of 5000 to 7000 newborns have the disease. The Jervell, Lange-Nielsen form is rare, but the Romano-Ward variant is being recognized with increasing frequency. In the USA, the presence of long QT syndrome is estimated to affect about 50.

TS was once thought to be a rare disease. However studies of ours in a Los Angeles school district indicate 1 in 100 school boys had TS. It is less common in girls. Subsequent studies in New York and England suggest an ever higher incidence. This makes it one of the commonest genetic disease affecting children. Because of the wide range of associated problems, TS is an important factor in many children with school and behavioral problems. See similar questions...

Women are more likely than men to be affected by Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome. Some estimates say that 75% to 90% of those affected are women. For example, it has been estimated by some doctors that one third of all of young strokes (defined as under the age of 50) are due to Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome. In obstetrics it is estimated by some doctors that up to 25% of all women with 2 or more spontaneous miscarriages have Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome. See similar questions...

Reye syndrome is rare. Since 1994, two or fewer cases per year are reported in the U.S. There has been a dramatic decline of cases since the 1980s, when health experts began educating parents about the use of aspirin and aspirin-containing products for the treatment of chickenpox and other flu-like illnesses. Reye syndrome cases occur throughout the year, but are more frequent when viral diseases are epidemic, such as the winter months, or following an outbreak of chickenpox or influenza.

The excess hormones can cause a lack of a menstrual cycle, excess hair growth, obesity, acne, and insulin resistance. As a result, women with PCOS are at a high risk of developing diabetes. As more and more research is being done on PCOS, more associations with other illnesses are being found. See similar questions...

Yes, Food Optimising is ideal for women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. We have discussed PCOS with medical and dietetic experts who inform us that, in general, it is recommended that people with PCOS follow the same sort of healthy diet and lifestyle changes recommended to the population as a whole. That is to limit fat (especially saturated fat), sugar and salt intake, and include plenty of fruit, vegetables and starchy carbohydrate food. Weight loss can certainly be of real benefit.

Dr. John Lee recommends using natural progesterone to treat PCOS as it suppresses the luteinizing hormone and therefore ovarian cysts are not stimulated. He states that in many women, cysts may then shrink with the passage of several menstrual cycles. See similar questions...

POF and PCO are very different. In the classic case of ovarian failure, there are no eggs in the ovary. In PCO ovulation does not occur regularly but the number of eggs in the ovary is normal. Both may be associated with the absence of menses. There is an excellent discussion of PCO in the Merck Manual-Home Edition (written by me) and which I can not improve upon. It is brief.

What distinguishes Asperger's Syndrome from autism is the severity of the symptoms and the absence of language delays. Children with Asperger's may be only mildly affected and frequently have good language and cognitive skills. To the untrained observer, a child with Asperger's may seem just like a normal child behaving differently. They may be socially awkward, not understanding of conventional social rules, or show a lack of empathy. See similar questions...
