You also have things like more insulin resistance.
So you can have high levels of insulin.
High levels of insulin also increase the production of androgens.

So that suggests genes might play a role.
It's unlikely to be a single gene.
It's likely to be many different genes that were involved.
But there are other potential factors as well.
So there's genetic factors.
There might be some nurture factors as well in there.
There are studies, particularly in animals, that suggest that if you've got an exposure, greater exposure to those male sex hormones in the womb, that might increase the risk of offspring having PMOS.
