Polycystic ovary syndrome. ovaries produce too much testosterone, causing obesity and hirsutism.

Interesting. You think that a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor might help?

Yes it might, and giving women medicine to stop the ovaries from functioning could also...i.e. put them on the pill or give them an anti GnRH releasing shot.

but we are using metformin to stop the obesity caused by the metabolic syndrome associated with it, and that also seems to affect the ovary so these women then ovulate and get pregnant. Although there is a high percentage of lesbians in those with the syndrome, nevertheless most women with the syndrome are heterosexual and have infertility.

I wonder if the high testosterone might be behind the lesbian tendencies. That is probably a taboo subject, but researching obesity is not. But I suspect it is, but unless the disease is found in early teens, one doubts it will work fòr women who are committed lesbians.
