Can Mounjaro help regulate periods if I have PCOS?
Mounjaro can help regulate periods in women with PCOS for many by improving insulin sensitivity and promoting weight loss, which supports more predictable menstrual cycles. This effect is indirect, as the medication tackles insulin resistance, a key factor in PCOS-related irregularities, leading to better hormonal balance and ovulation. Results vary, with some women noticing more regular periods while others experience temporary changes during initial weight loss.
Key points:
- Mounjaro improves insulin sensitivity, which can help regulate PCOS-related irregular periods.
- Weight loss from Mounjaro often leads to more predictable menstrual cycles in women with PCOS.
- Effects on periods are indirect and may cause temporary disruptions for some users.
- Clinical observations show many PCOS patients experience benefits like consistent ovulation.
- - Mounjaro is not licensed to treat PCOS. Any use in PCOS is off-label and should only be considered under clinician guidance after an individual risk–benefit assessment.
