It explained that PCOS is scientifically known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), in which the ovaries produce an abnormal amount of androgens\u2014male sex hormones that are usually present in women only in small quantities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-orange-950-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b43760d4599570f04cab8e20b4b286b6\" dir=\"ltr\">Regarding the relationship between PCOS and insulin resistance, many women with this condition resist insulin, meaning the body cannot use insulin properly. As a result, insulin levels build up, which can lead to increased androgen levels. The workshop also clarified that treatment depends on several factors, including the patient\u2019s age, the severity of symptoms, and her overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"454\" src=\"https:\/\/iku.atu.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-15-140903-1-1024x454.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iku.atu.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-15-140903-1-1024x454.png 1024w, https:\/\/iku.atu.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-15-140903-1-300x133.png 300w, https:\/\/iku.atu.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-15-140903-1-768x340.png 768w, https:\/\/iku.atu.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-15-140903-1.png 1277w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department of Community Health Technologies at the Technical Institute \/ Kufa held a special workshop on the methods for detecting polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women and insulin resistance.
