PHILADELPHIA – "My personal opinion is that polycystic ovary syndrome is probably multiple diseases."
That’s according to Dr. Selma Witchel, an associate professor of pediatric endocrinology at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, who discussed diagnosis and management of PCOS in an interview at the annual meeting of the North American Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology.
The best approach to treating young women with PCOS depends on a number of factors, Dr. Witchel notes. She also explains the most appropriate off-label use of metformin, as well as when using it can pose risks to the patient. Dr. Witchel also discusses novel therapies, including the potential promise of acupuncture and the off-label use of statins, and how to help pediatric patients transition to adult care.
