Condition
PCOS
Quick answer
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal condition affecting 8 to 13 percent of women. Insulin resistance is a core driver. GLP-1 medications like semaglutide can improve insulin sensitivity, support weight loss, and indirectly help restore more regular cycles when combined with lifestyle support.
About PCOS
PCOS is a constellation of irregular cycles, elevated androgens, and (often) insulin resistance. Weight management is one of the most powerful levers because it improves insulin sensitivity, which in turn improves the hormonal picture.
