TLDR Thai women with PCOS become more aware and change their lifestyle to manage their fertility and symptoms.
The study "Getting Through Fertility: Self-Care Management Process of Thai Women with Abnormal Menstruation Due to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome" from 2019 aimed to describe the self-care management process among Thai women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). The researchers used a grounded theory approach and found that "getting through fertility" was the core category of self-care management for these women. The study concluded that a diagnosis of PCOS could increase women's awareness, leading them to modify their lifestyle to treat amenorrhea and associated symptoms.
