Influence of Cortisol on PCOS:
Elevated cortisol levels due to chronic stress can exacerbate hormonal imbalances in women with PCOS.
High cortisol levels may contribute to insulin resistance, a common factor in the development of PCOS.
Stress-induced cortisol release can worsen symptoms of PCOS, such as irregular menstrual cycles and acne.
Managing stress through relaxation techniques and lifestyle changes may help in controlling cortisol levels and improving PCOS symptoms.
