How should one prepare for initial medical appointment to discuss PCOS?
• Write down any questions before the appointment. It is usually faster and more orderly to have a list, no matter how long it may get. Many questions will be answered in the general course of conversation. • Gather up any appropriate or requested medical records follow through and make sure the doctor gets them before the appointment, or bring them. (Sending in advance is generally preferred.) If the visit is for fertility reasons and one has already done a hysterosalpingogram (HSG, x-ray test of the uterus and tubes), a copy of the actual film is preferred to the printed interpretation or report. • Be ready to supply family history, especially about insulin resistance, diabetes, lipid abnormalities such as high cholesterol, obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, and infertility. Include information from both parents and their families. PCOS characteristics may be passed down from either side of the family. • Familiarize oneself with the symptoms of PCOS and discuss any concerns
