Menstrual cycle in PCOS

  1. Menstrual cycle disorders and PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) are associated with hormonal problems in women.
  2. PCOS is characterized by multiple ovarian cysts, as well as an abnormal increase in testosterone levels and insulin resistance.
  3. When menstrual cycles are disrupted, women may experience irregular or missed periods, making pregnancy planning difficult.
  4. Both menstrual disorders and PCOS can impact a woman’s mental health, causing stress and depression.
  5. Treatment for menstrual cycle disorders and PCOS may include lifestyle changes, hormonal medications, and in some cases surgical interventions.
