Screening clinic nurse Corrinne Purdy said reviews for women with the condition would come with a range of checks, taking a more holistic approach.<\/p>\n
She said: “We will see whether they’re getting on alright with their medication, how they’re feeling about themselves; we will do height and weight reviews, we will ask them questions about their sleep, how they’re managing their condition.<\/p>\n
“We will also speak to them about any particular fertility aspirations and how they’re getting with their mental health as well.”<\/p>\n
Purdy said PMOS had been “overlooked” for a long time.<\/p>\n
She said: “Women have been diagnosed and then not really had any sort of follow-ups… just been left to manage – whereas, actually, a lot of women struggle, particularly with some of the symptoms that come alongside it.<\/p>\n
“PMOS is… a broad thing, and it can affect women in many different ways, and it’s quite common as well, maybe more common than people think.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Screening clinic nurse Corrinne Purdy said reviews for women with the condition would come with a range of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":751397,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[59,102,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-751396","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-health","tag-gb","tag-health","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/751396","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=751396"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/751396\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/751397"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=751396"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=751396"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=751396"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
