In gynecology, hyperinsulinemia is often linked to PCOS, a common endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age. The condition is characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, hyperandrogenism (excess male hormones), and polycystic ovaries. Elevated insulin levels can exacerbate these symptoms by stimulating ovarian androgen production, leading to menstrual irregularities and hirsutism (excessive hair growth).
