Abstract
PCOS affects more than reproductive health, influencing systemic inflammation and insulin resistance.
- PCOS is the most common endocrine condition among reproductive-age women.
- It is associated with irregular menstrual periods, increased hair growth, and pregnancy difficulties.
- Recent research emphasizes the reciprocal interaction between gut and vaginal microbiota in PCOS.
- Stress hormones may impact hormonal activity, potentially altering the vaginal and gut microbiomes.
- Microbial population changes in these areas could contribute to inflammation and insulin resistance in PCOS patients.
