Bravo! Perspective is everything. Helped reinforce the information I have received before with greater clarity and understanding.
Very concise approach and explanation of PCOS. Thank you Dr Raj
Love it, short and totally relevant, Excelent to have a general review of such a complicated pathology
Bridges gaps, uses pharm, mentions PE and how metabolic syndrome predisposes.
