BPD and PMOS

Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) has been found to be common in women with borderline personality disorder (BPD). 

PMOS is a common condition that affects your hormones. It causes irregular menstrual periods, excess hair growth, acne and infertility.

While we’re still learning exactly why, it could be related to stress, hormone imbalances, and the emotional toll of living with a chronic illness. PMOS can also lead to higher rates of anxiety and depression, which can increase the symptoms of BPD. 

A well-rounded treatment plan that includes both physical and mental health support is essential.
