hi everyone,
in PCOS - whats the estrogen level like?
Dr. RED says -
anovulatory cycles in PCOD means - estrogen deficient - increased endometrial stripe - risk of endometrial cancer and osteoporosis
i have been thinking all this while ..
1) anovulation - no corpus luteum - no progesterone -
how does anovulatory cycle cause estrogen deficiency?
2) estrogen excess causes endometrial cancer
why does he say estrogen deficiency causes increased endometrial stripe
confused all together..
someone please help
thank you

PCOD pts are mostly obese too - that contributes to high estogen levels too
estrogen low - hence osteoporosis
But at the same time, the pt is at risk for endometrial hyperplasia which is due to excess unopposed estogens.
