    TLDR PCOS is often linked with menstrual issues, hormonal imbalances, and a higher risk of heart disease and diabetes.
    Three years ago, a descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) patients, with the average age being 24.9 years. The most common symptoms were menstrual irregularities (86%), weight gain (55%), and a significant proportion were overweight (30%) or had grade I obesity (11%). Hormonal imbalances were also common, with 83% of patients having a Luteinizing Hormone (LH) to Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) ratio of 2 or more. The study concluded that PCOS often presents with menstrual abnormalities and hormonal imbalances, which can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases and type two diabetes.

Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
