Re: Evening Primrose Oil and PCOSFrom: Sue (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 26 Aug 2003 12:26:32 -0500 (CDT)
>No, PCOS more commonly causes too much testosterone in the system, which increases insulin levels, and causes PCOS.< Actually, this is backwards just a bit. Increased insulin levels causes increased testosterone levels and tends to manifest as PCOS. Also, PCOS tends to cause a lack of progesterone (I think that's the hormone) and permits "unopposed estrogen" in the system, which could be what the original poster was thinking of. HTH
