Barriers and facilitators to the implementation of lifestyle management in polycystic ovary syndrome: Endocrinologists' and obstetricians and gynaecologists' perspectives.

Objective: To study the barriers and facilitators to lifestyle management in PCOS from the perspectives of endocrinologists and obstetricians and gynecologists (Ob/Gyns) to inform the translation and implementation of the international evidence-based guideline on lifestyle management in PCOS.

Results: Both endocrinologists and Ob/Gyns supported lifestyle as key to PCOS management but faced systemic barriers of lack of access to allied health services and had limited capacity for in-depth lifestyle discussions.
