The occurrence of ANM (age at natural menopause) is a fairly common occurrence. The time of natural menopause has been linked to a number of conditions, including chronic disorders. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of these factors. Women with PCOS experience a two-year delay in menopause. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentrations in PCOS-affected women have been found to be higher than in women who do not have PCOS, suggesting that AMH concentration could be a sign of extended fertility in these people.
How Does Menopause Affect PCOS?
With age, most women experience increased insulin resistance and weight gain, especially as they approach menopause. As a result, it was discovered that after menopause begins, metabolic problems in women with PCOS worsen.
In postmenopausal women with PCOS, the prevalence of hypertension is even higher. This is due to the fact that when ovulation stops, overall cholesterol and cardiovascular risk rise. Despite the fact that menopause has an influence on PCOS due to the reduction in hormones, it is not a cure for hormonal imbalance.
As a result, menopause cannot cure PCOS. This means that symptoms of PCOS may still occur beyond menopause. Long-term exposure to increased androgen levels can result in abundant facial and body hair, hair loss, and even baldness that lasts through menopause. Can PCOS cause hot flashes though?
