In people with ovaries, Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has historically been defined by abnormally high levels of androgens—hormones that typically regulate male sexual development—that lead to irregular menstrual periods, abnormal ovulation and often infertility, as well as other symptoms such as acne or excess facial or body hair. But over the past several decades, a better understanding of PCOS’s root causes has led to a strange connection. Many men who are related to people with PCOS seem to share many of the same symptoms that stem from what researchers think causes PCOS: a genetic susceptibility that leads to metabolic dysfunction, which in turn causes insulin resistance that disrupts hormone signaling.
This awareness has led the medical community to advocate for a name change that is more aligned with the syndrome's root causes for the condition, STAT reported earlier this month. If it happens, researchers hope this change could open the doors for more treatments and better diagnosis of the condition in all those who experience it.
