Experiences of PCOS diagnosis in a cohort of Polish women from the Pomeranian region: A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study

Abstract

Background: The challenges of living with PCOS may be exacerbated by a long and problematic process of diagnosis or a lack of evidence-based, personally relevant information. Therefore, the aim of our study was to evaluate the time to diagnosis, the number of health professionals seen, and patients' information needs in a cohort of women with PCOS.
