Postmenopausal ovarian hyperthecosis

This episode breaks down postmenopausal ovarian hyperthecosis, a benign but impactful condition where altered ovarian cells overproduce androgens. We explore how postmenopausal hormonal shifts and insulin resistance synergize to drive severe virilization, hirsutism, and heightened metabolic or endometrial risks. Learn to differentiate this slow-progressing disorder from aggressive ovarian tumors using precise diagnostic imaging and lab panels. Finally, we review management strategies, from definitive surgical oophorectomy to targeted medical therapies and metabolic interventions.
