I've Been Experiencing Significant Memory Issues .Wonder There Is A Link Between PCOS And Cognitive Function?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I sought help from neuroscientists at various hospitals. However, they seemed skeptical, implying that I'm too young to be facing such memory problems. I'm starting to wonder if there's a relationship between PCOS and cognitive function, especially since hormonal imbalances, like those caused by testosterone, are known to affect memory.

A myPCOSteam Member

Oh and the studies I’ve read do mention the correlation of hyperandrogenism/elevated testosterone with cognitive issues so I think your assumption is completely accurate

Does Anyone Else Also Suffer From POTS Along With PCOS? POTS = Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I was curious whether anyone else has this in addition to PCOS?
