What is the Connection Between Adrenal Disorders and Menstrual Irregularities?
Adrenal hormones play a critical role in regulating the menstrual cycle. Disorders such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) often involve an overproduction of adrenal androgens, leading to irregular periods. Similarly, adrenal insufficiency can result in decreased production of sex hormones, causing amenorrhea (absence of menstruation).
