By some investigators this is merely referred to as 'PCO' (polycystic ovaries). Although there is controversy in this regard, we do not consider women with PAO/PCO who have no known endocrine disturbance to have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and therefore p...
متن کاملLuteal phase progesterone excretion in ovulatory women with polycystic ovaries.

We therefore set out to determine the strength of the association between androgenic alopecia and PCO. We examined the prevalence...

متن کاملSpecial Considerations on Insulin Resistance Induced Hyperandrogenemia in Women with Polycystic Ovaries Syndrome: A Prominent COVID-19 Risk Factor
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infecting mechanism depends on hosting angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2) as essential components and androgens as regulators for inducing the expression of these components. Therefore, hyperandrogenism-related disease such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in insulin resistant wome...
