Could Your PCOS Actually Be Hypothalamic Amenorrhea? with Elly McLean

In today’s episode Elly McLean joins us to explore hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). You will learn about HA and the reasons why this evolutionary protective mechanism exists. We then discuss the most common causes of PCOS and the role of the oral contraceptive pill, the Rotterdam criteria and how the syndrome differs to polycystic ovaries, the problems with classifying an irregular period, amenorrhea or HA as PCOS, the prevalence of misdiagnoses, testing and treatment and so much more.
