This PCOS module examines how the condition evolves over time. PCOS over the years explores the persistence of symptoms like irregular cycles, insulin resistance, and metabolic issues into later life stages.
The onset of perimenopause (PM) and menopause (M) life stages highlights how hormonal changes can affect PCOS symptoms, often complicating the transition into these stages.
Diagnosis of PM focuses on recognizing early signs of perimenopause, which can be challenging due to overlapping PCOS symptoms.
Testosterone levels in menopause discuss how levels may remain higher in women with PCOS, impacting symptoms like hair growth and mood.
Hormones before, during, and after PM and M explore fluctuations in estrogen, progesterone, and androgens, influencing symptom severity and overall health.
Lastly, the module underscores the importance of ovulation, particularly in younger women with PCOS, as it impacts hormonal balance, fertility, and long-term health outcomes during the menopause transition.
