PCOS

PCOS affects up to 10% of American women. In PCOS, reduced insulin sensitivity leads to an increase in circulating insulin. This excess insulin triggers an increase in luteinizing hormone (LH), which signals testosterone levels to rise. The high levels of insulin, LH and testosterone are responsible for reduced fertility and miscarriage.
