if DM and endometric cancer both are in choices, which is more related to PCOD?
THANKS

  #2

I would say : Endometrial Cancer

As for DM ( it 's for the Obesity ) not really DM itself

They are both complications but the increase in endometrial cancer is increased long term also the risk of breast cancer is increased due to unopposed estrogen Big Time


  #4

PCOD--->unopposed Estrogen---->higher risk of endometrial cancers

Obesity--->Unopposed extra glandular estrogen + Insulin resistance----->Risk of DM & Endometrial cancers

  #5

DM

Well, I also think this is DM.
In PCOD estrogens aren't opposed by progesterones but opposed by androgens. In general these Pt suffer from oligo-/amenorrhea...
