PCOS is not just a fertility problem:
- Irregular periods and trouble getting pregnant are the version you see in your 20s 30s and early 40s
- After that it becomes a massive risk factor for cardiometabolic disease, and the high androgens are the biggest driver
- It matters most past 50 - average age of menopause is 51 to 52
- Conventional medicine asks one question: do you want to get pregnant or not? Then it's the pill or Clomid. That does women a gigantic disservice
