Relationship of Obesity, T2DM with PCOS- Ft. Dr. Duru Shah, MD (Obstetrics & Gynaecology)
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinopathy that is highly prevalent in women of Indian ethnicity. Clinical practice guidelines do not adequately consider ethnic–cultural differences in the diagnosis and care of women with PCOS. Research indicates that women with PCOS experience lifelong metabolic, reproductive, and psychological consequences.
In today's video we will discuss about the metabolic complications associated with PCOS, including obesity, T2D, and cardiovascular diseases, and various studies suggest that these complications are increasing rapidly among Indian women.
