Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), menopausal symptoms, and other endocrine conditions affecting women’s health often fly under the radar. Our members are dedicated to shining a light on these disorders to raise awareness, accelerate research, and improve clinical care.
Resources such as our PCOS Clinical Practice Guideline and Scientific Statement, as well as our Clinical Practice Guideline on treating menopausal symptoms set the standard for women’s healthcare and advocate for needed research.
As part of Women’s Health Month, the Endocrine News Podcast spoke with Jerilynn Prior about a new treatment approach to perimenopause: oral, micronized progesterone.
