INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that polycystic ovary syndrome is associated with a history of psychological trauma?
Unclear. One North American cross-sectional study reports that higher early-life adversity (including abuse and household dysfunction) was associated with higher self-reported PCOS prevalence, and a related paper's title links childhood trauma to PCOS. This covers only a single population and does not establish the general association at the strength the claim asserts.
