"Testosterone prescriptions quadrupled in the last 3 decades across the U.S. despite stable rates of male hypogonadism diagnoses, noted Sinha. Studies have shown that testosterone is being prescribed in many without clear proof of androgen deficiency."

Why rename PCOS to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome but keep ovarian in there?

Like if it's all the endocrine organs and glands and it happens in cis men too why keep ovarian in the name?

This is a genuine question.

Somatostatin is a hormone traditionally recognized as a global "system manager" for growth and metabolism, but recent research reveals it primarily functions by regulating a single sleep-active neuron. This localized sleep control mechanism subsequently governs broader physiological processes across the body, including metabolism, memory consolidation, and overall lifespan.
