Types of PCOS
Understanding your type is essential for treatment
The most common type, characterized by insulin resistance leading to elevated insulin levels that stimulate excess androgen production.
Develops after stopping oral contraceptives due to rebound effect.
Chronic low-grade inflammation stimulates androgen production.
Primarily driven by stress-induced androgen production from adrenal glands.
How PCOS Develops
Understanding the biological mechanisms behind pcos helps explain why certain treatments are effective
Insulin Resistance
Cells become resistant to insulin
Androgen Production
High insulin stimulates excess androgens
Ovulatory Dysfunction
High androgens interfere with ovulation
cyst Formation
Follicles form multiple small cysts
