Multi-organ

Sasha Ottey:

"PCOS, the most common hormone disorder in women, receives less than 0.1% of the research funding from the National Institutes of Health. PCOS has historically been treated as a reproductive disorder and not much else, even though research shows its connection to metabolic dysfunction, cardiovascular dysfunction, psychosocial disorders, cancer, eating disorders, skin disorders, liver disorders and more. PCOS has evolved from being a gynecologic and reproductive disorder to a multi-organ system disorder. However, very little research is being funded to study the other comorbidities of PCOS. It is now known that there is a connection between infertility and overall physical health."
