The honest hairy truth about PCOS: What your teenage patient wants to know but is afraid to ask?
Asma Javed
Mayo Clinic, Rochester MN, USA
The overall purpose of the proposed activity would be to discuss evidence based guidelines for the diagnosis and management
of PCOS in light of the most common complaints adolescents with PCOS present with. Current controversies in management
of young females with PCOS will be highlighted using a case based discussion format. At the end of the session, participants will be
expected to: Understand the concept of morphing PCOS phenotype across stages of life and the role of prenatal (fetal) programming to
early childhood obesity and premature puberty in the development of PCOS; work through a number of cases highlighting common
complaints the adolescent with PCOS presents with such as hirsutism and acanthosis nigricans and provide best practice advice
including new treatment modalities available to address hirsutism and acanthosis nigricans and; discover current controversies in
PCOS evaluation such as ‘mass screening’ for complications such as glucose intolerance and ‘pan androgen testing’.
