Impact of oral contraceptive use on muscle mass and strength in women with PCOS
Short-term OC use in women with PCOS led to a reduction in androgen excess without measurable effects on muscle composition or strength. These findings suggest that muscle function and composition remain stable over the short term, despite hormonal modulation. Further research is required to understand how long-term management strategies for PCOS might affect muscle mass and function.
