Also known as: PCOS
PCOS, or polycystic ovary syndrome, is a common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age characterized by ovulatory dysfunction, hyperandrogenism, and metabolic risk.
Evidence on ketogenic diets remains limited for psychiatric disorders and diabetes, while a systematic review in overweight and obese women with PCOS found significant short-term improvements. Experts said more controlled, long-term studies are needed.
GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide and liraglutide may improve fertility through metabolic benefits but are not recommended during pregnancy. Current guidance advises discontinuing long-acting agents at least two months before conception.
