Those who suffer from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS, find conceiving a child if not impossible, at least very difficult.

A new book about this common but serious condition could offer some valuable insights for many women.

Written by Colette Harris and Theresa Cheung, who are also PCOS sufferers themselves, it is a promising mix of scientific research, advice on lifestyle changes to bring about self-help, and the natural therapies which have been known to alleviate the condition.

'The Ultimate PCOS Handbook' is published by HarperThorsons and costs £14.99 paperback (or cheaper, online through sites like Amazon). The subtitle pretty much sums up the content: 'Lose weight, boost fertility, clear skin and restore self-esteem'.
