PCOS- autoimmune thyroiditis link
I thought to mention this: PCOS and Auto Immune Thyroid dysfunction have been linked. Google
Dr. Onno E. Janssen and Dr. Roland Gaertner for the PCOS/Thyroiditis connection.
I happen to have elevations in Testosterone, Dhea-S, Cholesterol and thyroid antibodies (Hashimoto's is the leading cause of Hypothyroidism.)
Currently, I am only on BCPs to regulate my menses and my thyroid is being monitored.
I simply thought this was worth mentioning given the higher prevelance of thyroid dysfunction amongst those with PCOS.
