PCOS Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is very similar to metabolic syndrome in its presentation. However, it adds extra problems, such as difficulty conceiving and excess production of androgens. While it is a complex problem, the components related to metabolic syndrome (elevated glucose, excess abdominal fat, elevated triglycerides, low HDL, and elevated blood pressure) will respond to the Med-DASH plan to reduce or manage these symptoms.
