SUMMARY:Exploring PCOS: Advancing Solutions through Interdisciplinary Research\, Clinical\, and Patient Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormone disorder occurring during a woman’s reproductive years that causes an excess of the hormone androgen and often\, irregular or prolonged periods. PCOS affects 8-13% of women of reproductive age worldwide and nearly 5 million women in the United States. However\, 70% of women with PCOS remain undiagnosed. Although it is usually discovered only after women experience highly irregular periods or unsuccessful attempts at pregnancy\, this chronic condition impacts more than just ovulation\, and its cause is still unknown. Women with PCOS have an increased risk of developing serious health conditions\, including diabetes\, heart disease\, anxiety\, depression\, and stroke. It is imperative that women living with PCOS are supported by an interdisciplinary care team that works together to effectively manage their uterine health and overall well-being. \nThe Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) convened an interdisciplinary PCOS Working Group of researchers\, health care providers\, and patient advocates for a closed\, roundtable meeting in June 2025. During this closed roundtable event\, the Working Group discussed the impact of PCOS on women’s health\, with an emphasis on disparities and persistent knowledge gaps concerning PCOS.
