Ep 221 – Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome
Notas del episodio
Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders affecting women of reproductive age, yet it remains widely misunderstood. Although traditionally viewed as primarily a reproductive condition and known as polycystic ovary syndrome, PMOS is now recognised as a complex multisystem disorder with important metabolic, endocrine, dermatological and psychological consequences that extend far beyond the ovaries. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson explores the underlying pathophysiology of PMOS, including the central role of insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism, as well as the diverse ways patients present in clinical practice. He also reviews the current diagnostic approach, important differential diagnoses and evidence-based management, from lifestyle intervention and pharmacological therapy to fertility treatment and long-term metabolic surveillance.
