how does pcos typically affect estrogen and progesterone production?
increased progesterone and decreased estrogen
decreased progesterone due to anovulation
increased estrogen due to enhanced corpus luteum activity
normal levels of both hormones
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) often causes anovulation. Progesterone is produced by the corpus luteum after ovulation. With anovulation in PCOS, there is decreased progesterone production. Estrogen levels may be normal or elevated in PCOS but not due to enhanced corpus luteum activity as there is often no ovulation and thus no normal corpus luteum formation.
