Certain genetic variations in the AR and ERβ genes can affect androgen levels in women.

Women with PCOS have more body fat and thicker fat layers in certain abdominal areas than women without PCOS.

PCOS starts in adolescence with hormonal issues, leading to adult health problems, and early treatment is crucial.

The document concludes that early recognition and treatment of PCOS in adolescents is crucial for managing symptoms and long-term health risks.

Women with PCOS have higher androgen levels that decrease with age but are still higher than in women without PCOS.

PCOS symptoms change with age; younger women have higher androgen levels and less metabolic issues, while older women face more metabolic challenges despite milder PCOS symptoms.

Metformin combined with lifestyle changes improves insulin resistance and reduces testosterone levels in women with PCOS more than lifestyle changes alone.
