If it is POS, how do you know for sorta-sure and what kind of herb/acupuncture can you use? Regards, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Hi Pete I think it highly likely she will manifest Diabetes type 2 very quickly if she doesn't change her lifestyle/diet. You should be recommending a high Glycaemic index diet and reduction in wheat and dairy. PCOS can be diagnosed by ultrasound, but doesn't always show up. The most sure way is laparoscopy (camera in abdomen). What are her periods like? Does she have a long or irregular cycle? Does she have fertility problems? Does she have any mid cycle pain? I think you would need to provide more information to get a full diagnosis for this lady, but usually cysts like these would be damp and/or blood stagnation.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Hi Pete Sorry, I meant to say you should recommend a low Glycaemic Index diet.
