Description:
I am interested in the effect of obesity and diabetes on the uterus. Women with obesity, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), or Type 2 diabetes mellitus have a higher risk of irregular bleeding, implantation failure, miscarriage, endometrial hyperplasia, and endometrial carcinoma. My research aims to determine whether this endometrial dysfunction is a consequence of the metabolic abnormalities occurring in women with obesity, PCOS, or diabetes.
