Abstract

Ovaj rad iz područja medicinske antropologije napisan je na temelju osam intervjua sa ženama koje boluju od sindroma policističnih jajnika. Govori o procesu dijagnosticiranja i liječenja te simptomima i promjenama koje oni nose. Naglasak je na psihosocijalnim i emocionalnim učincima koje simptomi imaju na samopercepciju i svakodnevni život žena koje boluju od sindroma, kakav je njihov odnos s okolinom i što očekuju od budućnosti. Rad se također dotiče problematike položaja ženskog reproduktivnog zdravlja u okvirima hrvatskog društva i zdravstvenog sustava.
