A new study highlights the potential of weight loss as a significant remedy for managing symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition affecting nearly one in eight to ten women worldwide during reproductive years.

Researchers from the University of Oxford, UK, conducted a comprehensive review of trials from scientific databases, examining how weight loss interventions impacted metabolic, hormonal, and gynecological markers in women with PCOS.

The analysis revealed that both behavioral and pharmacotherapeutic interventions for weight loss could improve biological markers like insulin resistance and testosterone levels, offering an effective clinical approach to managing PCOS symptoms.
