Talk:Polycystic ovary syndrome/unanswered question dump

[edit] To patients looking for advice about their own symptoms

All you have to do is google "PCOS support group" and you will get literally scores of precise links where there are hundreds of people waiting to answer all your questions in warm fuzzy manners. Once again, wikipedia is not a source of medical advice unless you want to risk getting it from an anonymous 15 year old (I am not exaggerating), nor is it a support group or discussion forum. It seems harsh, but this page is especially hard hit. I will move all the above to an archive. Thanks for understanding. alteripse 21:05, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

The questions alone show how little understood PCOS is among the general female population and sadly the medical community which should be informing women of such a common syndrome. I am very glad Wiki has as solid a page on it as it does. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.16.43.129 (talk) 01:28, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Killing the link farm

I have deleted a bunch of external links to support groups and magazine articles about PCOS. The biggest problem is that half of the websites were listed twice (except the Australian group, which had four links), but in general I believe we need to remember that Wikipedia is not an advertising opportunity for our favorite organizations. Women with PCOS are smart enough to do their own Internet searches if they want more resources. WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:00, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
