Male equivalent PCOS may be defined as a disorder that occurs in male members of a family with a PCOS history, characterized by the clinical signs of androgenism, complete hair loss, and the same hormonal pattern seen in PCOS, except for testosterone levels that seems to be in the subnormal range.

Mar 20, 2021 · New genetic research suggests men can develop characteristics of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)—a common metabolic and reproductive disorder that affects women. The study was presented virtually at ENDO 2021, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting.

It is believed that polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can impact up to 10% of women but according to new genetic research presented in March at ENDO 2021, it can manifest in men as well.

Male PCOS may lead to early baldness, excess body hair, and acne in men. Learn how similar genetic markers affect men’s health and ways to manage symptoms. Dr. Basma Faris, Board-Certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist, and Certified Culinary Medicine Specialist.

Mar 24, 2021 · By demonstrating a high rates of cardiometabolic dysfunction and androgenic conditions in men with a high PCOS risk score, "we have shown that these genetic risk factors can act independently of...

Recent studies identified the presence of a male polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), which mainly affects men whose female relatives are afflicted with PCOS, caused by genes responsible for the susceptibility of this syndrome in women.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), also referred to as Stein-Leventhal syndrome, is one of the most common endocrinopathies. It is characterized by hyperandrogenism, hyperinsulinemia, central obesity, polycystic ovaries, and anovulation.

Jan 1, 2024 · A male-equivalent condition for PCOS does exist, has been under study for more than a decade, and most of its features are now universally agreed on. First-degree male relatives of females with PCOS inherit the condition or some of its features and are at similar, if not worse, cardiovascular and metabolic risks.

The occurrence of a genetic background in the etiology of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) represents the rational basis to postulate the existence of a male PCOS equivalent. Hormonal and metabolic abnormalities have been described in male relatives of women with PCOS.
