Conditions
PCOS
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome — a hormonal disorder common in women, linked to weight.
PLAIN ENGLISH
Patient-Friendly Explanation
PCOS is a hormonal condition that affects how your ovaries work. It can cause irregular periods, difficulty losing weight, and fertility issues. Weight loss of just 5-10% can improve symptoms significantly.
MEDICAL
Clinical Definition
PCOS is diagnosed by Rotterdam criteria (≥2 of: oligo-ovulation, clinical or biochemical hyperandrogenism, polycystic ovaries on ultrasound). Insulin resistance plays a central role in its pathophysiology.
KEY INSIGHT
Why It Matters
Weight management is first-line therapy for PCOS. GLP-1 agonists have shown particular promise for PCOS patients due to their dual effects on weight and insulin sensitivity.
