Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS; Formerly Polycystic Ovary Syndrome/PCOS) and Susceptibility to Microbial Infections: Mechanisms, Clinical Management, and Reproductive Consequences — A Comprehensive Review

TL;DR

Evidence suggests that women with PMOS may be more vulnerable to selected infection-related conditions, especially vaginal dysbiosis, bacterial vaginosis, and vulvovaginal candidiasis, so clinical care should focus on established PMOS management, metabolic optimization, risk-based infection evaluation, and treatment of confirmed infections.
