Semaglutide: A Game-Changer for Weight Loss and PCOS?

Ashley Dunham, who has polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), lost 70 pounds in 5.5 months after taking semaglutide, a weight-loss drug originally developed for diabetes. She had irregular menstrual cycles due to PCOS, but her periods returned after taking the drug. Semaglutide could help women with PCOS manage symptoms by improving insulin sensitivity and aiding weight loss, but it is not licensed for the treatment of PCOS. Semaglutide works by suppressing appetite and is taken as a weekly injection.
